Our Purpose

  For over 30 years, poets, musicians and story tellers have come from all over the country to share their talents and to celebrate the time-honored traditions of our childhood heroes - The American Cowboy! You can almost hear the spurs jingling and the old camp cook calling in the riders to a hot meal of the finest beef, biscuits, beans 

  For over 30 years, poets, musicians and story tellers have come from all over the country to share their talents and to celebrate the time-honored traditions of our childhood heroes - The American Cowboy! You can almost hear the spurs jingling and the old camp cook calling in the riders to a hot meal of the finest beef, biscuits, beans and boiled coffee. Not only do we hear of historic days of old, but they also tell of the contemporary western way of life we still live today.
