Date:
October 11, 2015
Event Description:
If you enjoy Cowboy Poetry and Western Music, then mark Sunday, October 11 on your calendar. The Palouse Country Cowboy Poets and Musicians will be holding their fall performance that day at the Dahmen Barn at 2:00 pm; admission is $10 per person. Orvil Sears and Dave Nordquist will perform poetry, and Dave Fulfs, Bodie Dominguez and Lee Hadwiger will play Western music.
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.
