Here are pictures from Old West Days, held this past week-end in Valentine. A good time was had by all.

Soapweed - looks like you all had a great time!! We heard Dave Stamey for the first time last Wednesday at the Heritage Center in Spearfish and just loved him. I'd drive a long way to hear him again. Thanks for the pictures.

Thanks for the critique...we will watch for this entertainer and try to go hear him based on your recommendations!

BTW, would you look at the purdy turquoise tops on JingleBob's boots?

Also, jinglebob's avatar is on his boots.......or is that his brand?

It is great to see the pictures from Old West Days, we used to live around Valentine and miss the festivities and all the great people there. It brings back some good memories :wink:

Just talked to a friend of mine that attended the festivities, she said she really enjoyed your poetry soapweed.

 

[Jinglebob]

Soapweed did poetry and I missed it! Man! I always miss the good stuff! :lol:

Very observant Jersey. My avatar IS my brand! Thats why I picked it. When I seen it, I said, "Man, they got my brand right there. Guess I'll use it."

I'm still mad that I missed soapweed doin' poetry tho'.

Saayyyy, you didn't mean to say Saddle Tramp, did you? If thats the case, he always does a good job. :wink:

Boots is one of the two things I notice............................... :lol:

 

[Soapweed]

I must confess, it was not I but my good friend Saddletramp who did the poetry. Like Jinglebob says, Saddletramp always does a good job entertaining.

Hmmm she must have gotten the names confused. Either way she said she really enjoyed it. Also there was a ranch photographer from Texas there, who'd been out to their ranch this last spring and did a shoot, Rene Heil. LOL she said he had on display there her least favorite shot......one of her in her shorts and flipflops along with her other half.

Jersey Lilly, my cousin was there and did some poetry at a couple of the day sessions. That is probably who your friend was confusing with me.

Rene Heil had some wonderful ranch photography on display at the craft show. My favorite picture was of the very authentic looking Buzz Kime lighting his cigarette with a branding iron.

I gave her a link to your pictures posted here, she said she was there....but not in your pictures, she sat a lil more to the left side of the room lol

Tom is in the mellerdrammer once in a while. I haven't ever actually visited with him, but know who he is. Guess I don't know his wife at all.

Think everybody had a pretty good time at Old West Days. Next year will be the fifteenth year already.
