The National Festival of the West is gong on this weekend at Westworld in Scottsdale, but I will not be attending this one. It has a star-studded lineup including Larry Gatlin and the Gatlin Brothers, the New Pioneers, Crosstown Cowboys, and other musical groups. And a great lineup of celebrities signing autographs and goods for sale, and the Buffalo Soldiers, Arizona Gunfighters, Poets, Chuckwagon Cooking, Mountain Men, and all that good stuff. There weill be several TV and Movie Actors there including Clint Black, John Saxon, Ed Faulkner, Dan Haggerty, and others. Among the authors will be Rusty Richards, John Conley, Becky Burgoyne and others.
And a good time will be had by all and one of them will receive the Cowboy Spirit Award.
Sounds like fun. The annual Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival is coming up here at Gene Autry's Melody Ranch. Don Edwards, Waddie Mitchell, and the Hot Club of Cowtown among many others will be performing. April 27-May 1.
ReplyDeleteThe Santa Clarita one should be a blast, but will have to miss it, too, this year.
ReplyDeleteSure hope I can make it to this some day.
ReplyDeleteEvan, they didn't have one last year, and I don't know about next year, but it usually draws a large crowd and you would enjoy it.
