The BC Cowboy Heritage Society proudly presents the 9th annual Kamloops Cowboy Festival. March 11th-13th, 2005, at Calvary Temple, Kamloops, BC, Canada.
From the website:
March 11th - 13th, 2005 Cowboys and Cowgirls from all over North America will be pulling into Kamloops British Columbia for a weekend of western hospitality and entertainment in Canada’s original Cowtown!
Over the last few years The Kamloops Cowboy Festival has made a name for itself as one of the finest western heritage events anywhere. The stage shows will feature two dozen of the worlds best cowboy poets and western singers. There will also be open mic sessions, workshops and demonstrations as well as a cowboy art and gear show featuring custom made saddles, western art and top quality hand made horse gear.

Cowboy Santa
I wrote this one in December for my "santee;" that is, the person who's name I had drawn in a Secret Santa gift exchange I participated in over at Brightweavings.
It seems there's some as gettin' worried they ain't bin serenaded.
It seems there's some as gettin' worried if they'd bin forgot.
I'm here to stem that worried tide, for one o' you at least.
I'm here to say yer gift is comin', to the McFillin in the lot.
Another cowboy limerick
Penny sent this little ditty in. Seems there's more'n a few Irish cowboy poets in the group.
In order to avoid mishaps
One should never put on wet chaps
You'll be ridin' the range
Feelin' mighty strange
Cuz' yer 8-balls are stuck to your lap!
Thanks, Penny.

More reminders
Two upcoming events:
The twenty first annual national cowboy poetry gathering is being held this coming week in Elko, Nevada.
The thirteenth annual Cochise cowboy poetry and music gathering will be held February fourth through sixth in Sierra Vista, Arizona.
Simon says.
Simian Farmer is prepared to match me haiku for haiku. Guess I'd better come up with some limericks.
