July 23rd – National Day of the American Cowboy
Posted by Tim.
Now that it’s properly July, I figured this notice from the Cowboy Cultural Society would be appropriate:
“The American Cowboy is a national icon, well represented and celebrated in movies, television, and sporting events such as rodeos, and more. Senator Craig Thomas of Wyoming introduced a resolution to designate July 23, 2005 as ‘National Day of the American Cowboy.’ The resolution spells out what it is to be an American Cowboy, the pioneering men and women who helped establish the American West, describing them as icons that embody “honesty, integrity, courage, compassion, respect, a strong work ethic, and patriotism”.
Also, be sure to listen to the Cowboy Cultural Society’s webcast, either through the radio listings on iTunes, or through the stream from the webpage i linked above. 24/7 sounds of the Old West, including songs and honest-to-goodness cowboy poetry.
Anyways, I expect everyone with boots and Stetsons to be wearing them on the 23rd.
