One of the week's highlights will be a special show on Thursday, June 19, featuring the top 10 young poets. We must limit this to 50 kids, and require that each child be accompanied by an adult. Bruce Beslow is coming from Bonner Springs, Kan., and will show kids how to play marbles the old-fashioned way and several of our good friends are going to pitch in and do their best to show kids what life on the range was really like. Participants will camp out around the campfire and hear cowboy stories and songs on Wednesday night, and wake up to Kent's good cookin' the next morning. Don Edwards and Waddie Mitchell remain the featured performers for the Saturday night show on July 21.
Early registration is recommended.
