Submission Information

We welcome submissions for gatherings and annual events.  Please include date, location, and contact information.  Please send the information in a text format; we don't post flyers or graphic announcements.  Send information  at least several weeks before the event.  Just email us.

We regret that we can't list "shows" that feature just one or two  entertainers (those are too numerous for us to maintain).

We welcome reports after gatherings; links to some are noted below and all listed here.

Our free email newsletter (subscribe) comes out about quarterly.  News is posted almost daily in our News Since the Last Newsletter.

  See our Internet (and other) Radio Broadcast schedule here.

 


 

Most information below is supplied by gathering and event organizers.

Links lead directly to events' sites.

Dates are posted as soon as they are received.

Some events notemore . . .(just click it) for expanded
current information here at the BAR-D.
Some events have
links if we have no current details, but did have them from a previous year

We welcome your information (plain text, no graphics please).   Email us.

Please send information at least several weeks before your event.

We regret that we can't list individual performers' shows or "shows"
that have just two performers or groups; those are too numerous for us to maintain.

 

Help spread the word! 

Email us us for a supply of handout postcards about CowboyPoetry.com for your event. 

Two CowboyPoetry.com information postcards are available.

One is the image selected as the cover for the 2009 CD, The BAR-D Roundup: Volume Four, an 1890s tintype of Gail Gardner (1892-1988), cowboy, poet, postmaster of Prescott, Arizona, and grandfather of cowboy, songwriter, and filmmaker Gail Steiger.

Another features Bob Coronato's painting, "The Horse Wrangler Gather’d The Morning Mounts: 'One That Had’n Lived The Life ... Couldn’t Paint a Picture ...To Please The Eye, of One That Had!'," chosen as the image for the 2009 Cowboy Poetry Week poster.

The reverse sides of the postcards have information about the Center for Western and Cowboy Poetry and CowboyPoetry.com.

Find larger views, the reverse-side text, and previous years' cards here.
