Steak Your Claim

Madisonville Sidewalk Cattlemen’s Association Annual Steak Dinner and Dance is a 75+ year tradition in Madisonville. For those who don't know, a "sidewalk cattleman" is a term that originated back in the 1940s for someone who wore cowboy boots and didn't own cows. The rules of the association stand today, and violations warrant a trip to the dunk tank on the court square. It's serious, funny business.
