This is the kind of thing that draws people from across Lubbock every year, and the 24th edition carries what organizers describe as a little extra significance, though the source doesn't spell out why. What's clear is the partnership between a local bank and city government has kept this tradition going for more than two decades.

For anyone who hasn't seen it before, Huneke Park sits near 82nd Street on the south side of town. No ticket or registration required, just pull up and walk through.

Twenty-four years is a long run for any annual event in a city this size.
