 It's hard to believe that when people around the world think of West Texas they think of Sweetwater's Rattlesnake Round up.

Today the contestants of the Miss Snake Charmer Pageant were introduced along with the headliners of the show, the snakes.

Rattlesnake handling and safety demonstrations were among the key activities, but it was what the Miss Snake Charmer Contestants had to do.

The Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup is set to begin Thursday, March 12 with a parade and go through Sunday, March 15th.(325) 235-5488.
