JFK stayed in Fort Worth before going to Dallas. At the breakfast meeting with the city’s Chambers of commerce, JFK was presented a cowboy hat and boots, which JFK gladly accepted but did not put it on.

Here’s the speech he gave. Also Eastern Hills high school band played during JFK’s visit. I didn’t even realize this until recently. I was still quite young at the time.
