Nation Day of the Cowboy- El Paso Museum of History's Celebration

Today from 2:99 - 4:00 was the El Paso Museum of History's 1st annual celebration of the National Day of the Cowboy. It was a small event as these things go. Mainly because it was the first, and let's face it, there ain't much of a budget to work with. The Paso del Norte Pistolero's and Six Guns and Shady Ladies performed for good crowds. I was working the chuck box as usual, while Rod Linkous set up a static display of cowboy weapons. Mike had a table set up to demonstrate branding. Instead of cows, we used chunks of wood. Inside Ron Leiman gave the folks a chance to braid rope. Elba was stationed with Brownie ( the fiberglass horse) to talk about the horse gear a cowboy would use. Over all it was a good turn out for the Museum's first time out. We'll have an even better one next year.
