Event Details
Cowboy
poet Ron Wilson comes from the historic Lazy T Ranch near Manhattan,
Kansas. He appears regularly on television, radio and in the Grass & Grain
newspaper. Ron scored in the top 5 at the National Cowboy Poetry Rodeo,
won the Horizon Award from the Kansas Chapter of the Academy of Western
Artists, and was proclaimed Poet Lariat (NOT Laureate) by the Governor of
Kansas. He is the only cowboy poet in the history of this state to
present a cowboy poem at a Governor’s inauguration. He presents
all-original cowboy poetry in full costume,
complete with audience participation. Ron says: “The poetry is fun,
family-oriented, patriotic, relates well with people, and most of the time, it
even rhymes.” His presentation will use verse to describe cowboy life
along the historic Chisholm Trail which celebrates its 150th anniversary
in 2017.
