The Cowboy Poetry Gathering is back Jan. 25-Feb. 1,
to celebrate the ranching traditions of poetry, music, art, dance
and “plain old visiting.” The 13th annual shindig in Elko, Nev.,
pays special tribute to Canadian cowboys, while daytime events
range from workshops on ranch-kitchen cooking to multi-day classes
on songwriting, saddle-stamping and rawhide-braiding. Evenings
feature poetry readings, dinner theaters and swing dancing. Contact
Cowboy Poetry Tickets, 501 Railroad St., Suite 206, Elko, NV 89801
