El Valquero (Pronounced - El Vahl Kaye Roh)

El Valquero is a celebration commemorating the lost cowboys of Con Queso Amigo Chupacabra Revolution of the 16th century. The century long battle took place between the Reballo Codagos (rebel cowboys) south of the United States border and due west of Chiquotes River and the Chupo Libres of the eastern region of mexico and south america (these geographic descriptions use current day country borders to give an approximate idea of the territory's involved). The battles raged on for almost a century and took the lives of many brave warriors from both sides of the fight. The true reason for the battles is unknown, it is suspected that the cowboys were just roided up lunatics who really liked to brawl. However, some scholars ponder the likelihood of territorial battles as the basis for fighting.

El Valquero is celebrated the last monday of august in the states and basically all of august in mexico and other parts of south america. Celebrations typically include drinking heavily, indulging in many a bottle service and dancing the night away. Most celebrations take place informally in community parks and other public areas throughout the south, whereas further North, where the tradition has evolved, bars and other private establishments organize events for the commemoration. Mo's Cantina in Chicago, Illinois is recognized as the best and wildest location in the Midwest for the celebration.

Gathering in celebration of the Reballo Codagos and Chupo Libres often include dressing up like cowboys and cowgirls. It is tradition that anyone wearing torn up army jean shorts, sandles, dos equis hats and pink shirts be beaten and spit on as it is seen as a disgraceful western influence on the pure tradition of El Valquero.
