The Sweetwater Rattlesnake Roundup is the largest one in the world and is hosted annually the second weekend in March. In addition to hunting the snakes, there is a Rattlesnake Parade, a Miss Snake Charmer Pageant and a snake eating contest. If you attend, be careful so you can visit this letterbox at the Sweetwater Cemetery above ground.
