Are you going to be doing some cowboy poetry anyplace?

They have something going on at the National Heritage Museum in
Spearfish. Just wondered if you were going to be there...or where?

Probably be here........doing what a cowboy does. :wink:

As far as I know, I ain't going to be anywhere.

Usually, them folks just want people who talk about cowboys, in poetic form, not cowboys who do poetry. :)

Far as I know, my next gig is at Devils Tower on Sunday the 2nd of Sept. You better come on over for the afternoon and bring you picnic basket and cold drinks.

I've got 2 older cowboy/ranchers who do wonderful poetry and a really good singer, picker and performer, named Hank Harris.

I think I'll just watch and enjoy, myself. :D

Peach Blossom and I attended the second annual event in Ainsworth, Nebraska, honoring the National Day of the Cowboy. There was a parade, cowgirl and cowboy poets, a pageant involving a stagecoach and bank robbery put on by the Sandy Creek Gang, inductions into the Sandhills Cowboy Hall of Fame, a Will Rogers impersonator, and lots of good music.

Our own Been There was on hand to do poetry. He and the others did a very fine job. All in all, it was a fun way to spend a hot day. We enjoyed it very much. :)

Ok Soapweed...did you not go to the art show?????lol

In all honesty I forgot about it. We went to Marianne Beel's funeral in the morning, where we visited with your husband and son. When we got to Ainsworth, I got off at the "fairgrounds" and Peach Blossom went down to Ranchland Western Wear to look around. I hunkered up in the shade to listen to the poetry and music, and plumb forgot about the art show.

Sounds like congratulations are in order for you winning a state photography contest. If your picture was part of the art show, I will really be disgusted with myself for forgetting to go there.

Awww thanks...and I'll let ya off the hook this time...the photo that won is traveling around the state for a year, and I don't have another copy made as of yet. I did have a few there in Ainsworth. Glad you enjoyed the day though, it sure was warm wasn't it...
