XIT Rodeo & Reunion

Past XIT Directors

Behind every successful XIT Rodeo and Reunion has been a dedicated team of directors who worked tirelessly to bring the community together for this cherished annual tradition. These volunteer leaders have poured countless hours into organizing events, coordinating logistics, and ensuring that each year’s celebration honored the legacy of the XIT Ranch while creating lasting memories for attendees.

From managing events and coordinating vendors to overseeing entertainment and handling countless behind-the-scenes details, our past directors have been the backbone of this beloved gathering. Their commitment to preserving XIT history and fostering community spirit has made the reunion the special event it is today.

We honor these individuals who have served as directors throughout the years, recognizing their invaluable contributions to keeping the XIT legacy alive for current and future generations. Their dedication and hard work have helped maintain the reunion as a cornerstone event that brings together families, friends, and history enthusiasts from across the region.
