Kansas City embraced its cowboy culture this weekend with a fashion parade that showcased the city's "cowtown" nickname. The streets around T-Mobile Center were filled with bull-riding fans of all ages attending PBR Outlaw Days, where athletes from across the country competed. Meanwhile, a two-day festival in the Power & Light District honored Kansas City's PBR team before their competition. Fans sported a variety of cowboy hats, from classic black and white to pink hats adorned with fringe and rhinestones at the Liberty Memorial.
The distinctive cowboy hats and boots were a common sight throughout the city, drawing attention from locals and visitors alike. Even Kansas City Chiefs offensive lineman Creed Humphrey and his girlfriend, Ana Demmer, joined in the festivities at Outlaw Days. While Demmer opted for a light-colored cowboy hat, Humphrey, an Oklahoma native, was seen in a baseball cap in some photos, hinting at his likely ownership of a cowboy hat or two. The bull riders also had the opportunity to visit GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium before their competition.
Overall, the weekend in Kansas City was a vibrant celebration of cowboy culture, with fans and athletes alike embracing the city's rich Western heritage through their fashion choices.
