XIT is coming back in 2021 however, and even though the 84th rodeo and reunion never really happened, the 85th is now one month away and will bring back the tradition after a one-year hiatus.Ī few changes are in store for the rodeo, so that will be noticed by the public and some that won’t really affect the public much at all. Many events had to be cancelled during 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the biggest event that was cancelled in Dalhart was the 2020 XIT Rodeo & Reunion.
