The Black West and Cowboy Gathering Wrap-up

The Booth Museum’s The Black West: Black Cowboys Buffalo Soldiers, and Untold Stories exhibit and the 6th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Gathering both had great success. The Black West exhibit brought people in from all over the country; we had visitors from twenty nine different states stop by and explore the exhibit and the museum itself. We were honored to be a part of such an educational exhibit that explored some lesser known stories about how the West was developed.

The 6th Annual Southeastern Cowboy Gathering also turned out to be a great, exciting event. Even with the rainy, cold weather, we had great attendance – our largest attendance for this event yet! Guests seemed to really get into the cowboy spirit by entering one of the many contests we held, enjoying a chuck wagon lunch, participating in the cowboy poetry workshop, enjoying the entertainment, and filling the atmosphere with true excitement. We just want to thank everyone who came to the Gathering and also thank all those who had a hand in putting everything together. This great event definitely wouldn’t be possible without you.
