We are planning to partner with a local organization who are putting on a
fourth annual cowboy poetry festival. Our part of the partnership will be
to put together a display that focuses on the local festival but grounds
it in the larger cowboy poetry "movement".
Has anyone out there in museum land put together a similar display? Is
there anyone there who may be able to help us with resources (names,
historical background, etc.)? This is a Canadian festival, but we're
aware the movement is now north american in scope, so I'd be interested
in hearing from both Canadian and U.S. museums.
Thank you.
