Welcome to Wagons for Warriors!
Wagons for Warriors is currently the largest gathering of chuck wagons in the United States, which also makes it the largest in the World. This event’s proceeds benefit local military men and women and veterans in need.
Eat & Socialize Like Cowboys and Cowgirls Did!
Each year more than 30 chuck wagons and their crews from around Missouri and other parts of the United States come to Lebanon to cook and serve authentic Western cuisine. Visitors get the chance to eat the way cowboys did when the wagons were a vital part of daily life.
Wagons for Warriors was a dream, a wish, and then a mission. Steve Hull, is a “Vietnam-era Navy veteran”, and worked for the Department of Defense for 32 years. His wife worked for the Department of Defense for 35 years. They both have a fierce allegiance to their country and the Military. They have seen friends, comrades and our defenders of freedom deploy and make sacrifices their whole lives. Steve’s first chance to help work with the “Wounded Warriors” came when he and Mitch, (a Vietnam Veteran himself), were asked to go to San Antonio Texas to help feed the Wounded Warriors at Fort Sam Houston, the U. S. Army Medical Command. What a humbling experience. Steve says they can never do enough to support or pay back the debt he feels we owe to our Military personnel.
