🤠 For National Mascot Day we're celebrating the legendary Pistol Pete, Oklahoma State University's iconic cowboy mascot! Inspired by real-life area resident Frank "Pistol Pete" Eaton, our beloved Pistol Pete was voted Best Collegiate Mascot in ESPN's 2010 poll. You can learn more about Frank Eaton and the Pistol Pete legacy at https://www.visitstillwater.org/things-to-do/stillwater-area-history/frank-eaton/.

A few fun facts about our favorite mascot:

⭐ Frank Eaton was the living mascot for about 30 years, bringing spirit to Oklahoma State Athletics home games and local events.

⭐ Pistol Pete replaced Oklahoma A&M’s original tiger mascot in 1923 after Frank Eaton was the hit of that year’s Armistice Day Parade.

⭐ The first Pistol Pete merchandise including pennants, notebooks and t-shirts hit the shelves in 1930.

⭐ After Eaton's passing in 1958, Charlie Lester donned the first papier-mâché head to keep Pete’s legacy alive.

⭐ In 1970, Disney Imagineer Bob Johnson crafted two fiberglass heads for Pete, insured for $20,000 each!

⭐ Local milliner Lillie Solomon began upgrading and lightening Pete's head in 1977.

⭐ Pete’s costume historically didn’t include spurs for fear that they would damage the Gallagher-Iba Arena floor. But in 2002, modified spurs were donated and added to the mascot’s costume.

⭐ In 2019, the heavy fiberglass heads were replaced with sleek carbon fiber ones.

Celebrate our beloved mascot and share your favorite Pistol Pete memories and photos. 🤠📸

Stillwater is proud to be the original home of Red Dirt Music! The entire genre was born right here in the 1980s, when icons like Bob Childers, the Red Dirt Rangers, Garth Brooks, Cross Canadian Ragweed, Jimmy LaFave, and many more gathered to play at a 150-acre plot of land on the outskirts of town called "The Farm." The rented farmhouse on the property became a hub of musicians and artists indulging in constant parties and jam sessions – especially in the garage, which became known as the "Gypsy Cafe."

You can learn more about Stillwater's role in the formative years of Red Dirt Music, and find info on shows and music events here at https://www.visitstillwater.org/things-to-do/red-dirt-music/
