Story Town with Weldon’s

For 60 years Weldon Burgoon has started his day at Weldon’s Saddle Shop and Western Wear in Denton, Texas in much the same way, greeting customers with southern hospitality and a firm handshake. At 86 years young Weldon made the hard decision in 2016 to close the family operated store, a longtime fixture in Denton. Its closing is symptomatic of the changing times, the passing of a western way of life that was once the heart of this North Texas community. And as the store’s longtime slogan stated, it’s the last chance to “Buy from a Real Cowboy”. Bonnie and Nick Norris’ Americana folk tunes and an original ballad by J. Aaron Cundall are featured along with historical footage and photographs. Interviews of Weldon, daughter Kippie Burgoon Wilkinson and grandson Clint Wilkinson round out a tale that you’d only find in Story Town Denton.
