So where did Wild Wills come from?

So where did Wild Wills come from?

A wing and a prayer of Will & Pepper Barrett who were both born in Ranger (Pictured Above). Together they both have done their fair share of contributing to local needs in their communities over the years but this time they hoped to really boost the spirit of Ranger by bringing in a totally new thing. Just before Covid hit the world, they secured ownership of an old brick building and warehouse that had long since fallen into a sad state of disrepair.

It had been previously operated as a peanut mill and is right at 100 years old. To restore the building, they tirelessly worked alongside each other and their children, Bailey, Jade and wife Keithlynn, Trace & Pixie for a year and a half.

Their grand opening on New Years Eve of 2022 was a sold out show with Texas music legend Gary P. Nunn. They soon followed that show up with Moe Bandy, Marty Haggard, Johnny Lee, The Bellamy Brothers, Confederate Railroad, The Great Divide and so many other greats.
