We are a group of volunteers who love cowboy poetry, western music,
cowboy movies and western art and gear. Each of us has a day job to
support our hobbies and interests. We formed a non-profit corporation
501(c)(3) in order to bring the best western entertainment and art to
Monterey County and especially the historical City of Monterey. Our
charitable partner is the Salvation Army. They have been living the
cowboy way for some time. As in the past, we pride ourselves on
bringing the best of the best cowboy poets, western music enter-
tainers and artisans of fine western art and gear to the first
capitol of Old California.
