Most information
below is supplied by gathering and event organizers.
Links lead
directly to
events' sites.
Dates are posted as
soon as they are received.
Some events note
(just
click it) for
expanded
current information here at the BAR-D.
Some events have 
links if we have no current details, but did have them from a previous year
We welcome your information
(plain text, no graphics please). Email
us.
Please send information at
least several weeks before your event.
We regret that we can't list
individual performers' shows or "shows"
that have just two performers or groups; those are too numerous for us to
maintain.
Help spread the
word!
Email us us for a
supply of handout postcards about CowboyPoetry.com for your event.
Two
CowboyPoetry.com information postcards are available for 2010 (and some
previous cards remain available).
One is the image selected as the cover for the 2010
CD, The BAR-D Roundup: Volume Five, a
circa 1940 photograph of Georgie Sicking,
cowboy, poet, and Cowgirl Hall of Fame Inductee. Georgie told us
it was taken at a "traveling show," when she was on her first
date with the man who became her husband.
(CD available in April, 2010)
Another features
Bill Owen's painting, "Born to This Land," chosen as the image for the
2010
Cowboy Poetry
Week
poster (available in April, 2010).
The reverse sides of the
postcards have information about the Center for
Western and Cowboy Poetry and CowboyPoetry.com.
Find larger views, the reverse-side text, and
previous years' cards here.
Thanks to the following gatherings,
organizations, and
individuals for helping to spread the word by making CowboyPoetry.com
