Howdy Pard’… Poetry Ain’t Hard
Reminiscent of the fresh smell of cut hay, the bounce of the pony, and the long trail ride, its Cowboy Poetry time in Coulterville.
In fact, it could be said this specialized and well-established form of verse is true Americana – like no other form of entertainment. Sponsored by the Mariposa County Arts Council, there is no charge to absorb the poetry from a special group of poets who are all local to the Mariposa County area.
While Elko, Nevada may be the epicenter of this truly Western and earthy brand of speak, our own tiny Western town of Coulterville, an easy jaunt from Mariposa, Sonora, and the San Joaquin Valley, will host poets in an event that runs from 6-9 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 18, in the Coulterville Park.
Get back to the area’s roots and the code of the West. If you’ve never experienced this brand of stage work, you owe yourself a taste. So pack up the kids, an ice chest and hit the ole dusty trail to Coulterville. The Coulterville Park is located at the intersection of Hwy 49 North and Hwy 132, the John Muir Highway.
We look forward to seeing you in Coulterville. Please bring a lawn chair or blanket for park seating. For more information call the Mariposa County Arts Council at (209) 966-3155, P.O.
