he Parker County Sheriff’s Posse Frontier Days Rodeo
drew to a close last month, signaling the last big event
in Parker County under the reign of Posse Sweetheart
Chloe Peacock. Chloe officially hands over the reins to
the new sweetheart in August of 2017, but until then this
sweetheart intends to make the most of the time she has
left.
Chloe is a recent graduate of Weatherford High School
with a long family history of involvement with the Parker
County Sheriff’s Posse. Her grandfather became a member
in 1982, and later served as Posse Captain for two consec-
utive terms beginning in 2006 through 2007. Her father,
Chad Peacock, became a member in 2004. Not only have
the men of the Peacock family been integral to the success
of the organization, the women have played a big part as
well. Her family legacy of Posse Sweethearts includes
Chloe’s cousin Amy in 1990, and her Aunt Joni in 1994.
Having been a part of the PCSP events since she was a
little girl, how could Chloe not aspire to have a leading
role in the posse?
The Posse Sweetheart is an elected position and is
seen by the organization as a tremendous honor. The
Sweetheart is busy throughout her reign with many duties
and needs a strong sense of commitment. Over the past
year, Chloe has ridden in numerous area parades and
rodeos, and performed small tasks such as posting the
colors or helping with different PCSP events.
“I am so grateful for the extraordinary opportunities
that the Parker County Sheriff’s Posse has provided me,”
Chloe said.
