Another successful VI Roundup!
Yesterday’s event at Cross Brand Arena in Tyler gave students from across Region 7 ESC the chance to experience a full day of hands-on, Wild West–themed fun. Activities included tactile crafts, sensory play, pretend bull riding, roping practice, horseback riding, and a wagon ride through the arena.
Our amazing volunteers truly went the extra mile. Many of them walked lap after lap around the arena to ensure every student could participate safely and confidently. Their dedication made the day unforgettable.
We’re grateful for the partnerships and volunteers who help create inclusive, joyful experiences for students who are blind or visually impaired.

VI Roundup with students from Region 7 ESC!
Students from school districts across Region 7 spent the day experiencing the Wild Wild West at Bar None Cowboy Church of Tatum, TX - Official Page, and what an incredible day it was!
From riding horses and getting their hands dirty to meeting new furry friends up close, students enjoyed hands-on experiences they often aren’t able to access on their own. During downtime, they created farm- and western-themed art using tactile materials that brought each project to life.
Events like this wouldn’t be possible without strong community partnerships, and we’re so grateful for the enrichment these experiences bring to our students and families.
A Bar None volunteer shared, “We had a lot of first-time volunteers this year. They had no idea our church gave back like this, and all were blessed in one way or another.”
Thank you, Region 7 Education Service Center and Bar None Cowboy Church, for helping create unforgettable memories!
