Newsletter Chairperson position open as of next January I have been the Membership and Newsletter Chairperson for over 10 yrs and it’s time for me to let someone take it over. It’s been fun doing this and it’s really not too hard if you have some Word document expertise. I would love to have the person who would take over let me know before the end of the year so I could help them transition into the Chairperson position. I would have liked to have others on the committee to share this with me but it seemed easier to do it myself. I will step down after the December newsletter has been completed so please consider taking up this committee position. Contact me if you have any questions or would like to consider taking over. You can find my contact information on the first page of the paper newsletter and the Contact page on the website. Susan Hilton
Rocky Rutherford, Cowboy Poet and Poet Lariat of Silver Valley, NC. In his poetry and stories, Rocky shows great respect for the American Cowboy, especially the Carolina Cowboy. He has recited all over our State, at rodeos and cowboy gatherings. He does it for the fun of it and the joy of celebrating the cowboy and girl. His last performance was on The National Day of the American Cowboy at the Johnson Ranch near Denton. Folks just naturally take to his warm and down home type of humor and poetry. All his “stuff” is from the boots of the cowboy as he wades into his own poetry, some memorized, some read, some made up on the spot. He also does “fancy” stuff like Shakespeare, Edgar Allen Poe and some other poets. Here are a few: “The Blue Bell Wrangler Cowboy”, “How do I love Thee”, “Fig Bars, Coffee and Beans”, “El Dorado”, “God Must Be a Cowboy at Heart”, “Rodeo Man”, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and tomorrow…”, “Invictus”, “A Boy Named Sue”, and a whole bunch more! Rocky is proud to be an American who loves the “country life” he enjoys with his wife, Patsy, on their mini farm in Silver Valley. Bud Eanes invited us to UNION GROVE MILLING Co. 75th Anniversary celebration on Sat. Sept. 25th where Rocky will be appearing. Union Grove Milling's address is: 1868 W. Memorial Hwy - Union Grove, NC 28689 - Toll Free 1-800-289-2051. Or check their website for more info. Union Grove Feed DCHA will be
having our 2nd Annual Tack Swap on Nov. 13th 10:00 am
