the cowboy is so american i can't believe nobody thought of this before. needless to say there should be organized trail rides, penning, roping, etc geared to the nubie. i for one am an english rider, but love all that western stuff, including the clothes but don't have the introduction available to western sports. and of course i'd love to go out & find me a cowboy

I think it is a great thing to look to the American Cowboy for character today, with all the strange things our pop culture keeps promoting as the standard fo this generation.
The American Cowboy represents all that is good and all the things that have made America and Americans great.
The Cowboy is an individual and simply too strong an image to pass with the ages.
American Cowboy, I salute you!

We celebrated here in Arcadia, FL last year with a parade through downtown and then a nice free BBQ and music for all who participated in the parade. Last I heard they were going to try to make it an annual event for the local cowboys since the local rodeo often does not have many of the working cowboys included. It is about time that some of the hardest working and dedicated individuals gets honored. I am proud to be marrying a cowboy!

The best book I have read so far about the American West was "Ranch 101: The Creation of the American West." by Michael Wallis. There can't be a more readable, enjoyable, informative book on the subject. I hope you folks realize this.
Aside from this, I would lke to learn if there is any truth in the story that TR recruited cowboys for the Rough Riders at a hotel in San Antonio. [I can't remember the name of the hotel at the moment]

We would like to have an American Cowboy Day in our town (Old Town Temecula) this year. What day will it be this year and will there be bumper stickers available for it?
Thanks

America needs the Cowboy more today than ever as our Nation is faced with members of our elected government, who seem to function without a moral compass. The integrity of the Cowboy serves as a timeless reminder of the grit and determination of a proud individual, symbolizing a purpose and a philosophy of strength and American spirit.

Why is there no official declaration from the Governor of Texas? I don't see it along with others in the link "In The News" of this website.

Bandera, Texas The Cowboy Capital of the World. We do celebrate the cowboy, so the NDAC is a perfect fit for us and especially this year. We are sponsored by the Frontier Times Museum and just a few weeks earlier we were given a wonderful hat collection that will be a permanent display. Our banner over Main Street said HATS OFF TO THE COWBOY, THE FRONTIER TIMES MUSEUM CELEBRATES THE NATIONAL DAY OF THE AMERICAN COWBOY.
The day was a great success, the Cowboy Church band played all the old cowboy songs, there was a "hoss" wash, dress-up for kids with hats, boots, chaps and then they could rope a "steer".There was leather stamping for the kids to take home, a wooden horse to ride in their cowboy clothes. We sold lemonade in a tin take-home cup and a farmers lunch of cheese and sausage with crackers.
The museum will continue to use the theme Hats Off to the Cowboy for the months ahead in the programs and with banners on the entrance of the museum. Our first program this year will be on the Western Trail and we look forward to many interesting programs. We have five rodeo champion ropers in our area and plan to have them involved in the months ahead.
