Event Description:
On Sunday afternoon, October 16, the Palouse Country Cowboy Poetry Association will perform cowboy poetry and Western music at 2:00 pm at Artisans at the Dahmen Barn in Uniontown. Admission is $10 at the door.
In 1991 Baxter Black, probably today’s best known cowboy poet, told a group of Palouse country enthusiasts gathered in Asotin, Washington, that cowboy poetry was the fastest growing western cultural activity and that they should get involved. The group members ruminated on that statement, some attended gatherings (poetry and music performing sessions) and some began writing cowboy poetry. Finally, in 1995, following a cowboy poetry workshop led by local cowboy poet, the group decided to develop a more formal organization and the Palouse Country Cowboy Poetry Association was formed with seven members. Today there are about 40 members, both cowboy poets and musicians, coming from all over the Palouse.
Artisans at the Dahmen Barn is a non-profit creativity center on highway 195 in Uniontown in the big white barn behind the famous iron wheel fence. The facility is fully handicap accessible and has no daily admission fee. It is open Thursday through Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm. Information: www.artisanbarn.org or 509-229-3414.
