National Ranching Heritage Center to Host 10th Annual Summer Stampede Western Art and Gear Show Presented by Capital Farm Credit June 1
A superior showcase of Western artists and craftsmen
Celebrating its milestone 10th anniversary, the Summer Stampede Western Art & Gear Show presented by Capital Farm Credit promises an unforgettable evening of art, entertainment, and camaraderie on Saturday, June 1, from 6 to 11 p.m. at the National Ranching Heritage Center in Lubbock, TX.
“Summer Stampede has become a favorite way to kick off summer,” said the show’s art curator, Dr. Robert Tidwell, who serves as the Helen DeVitt Jones Endowed Director of Collections, Exhibits and Research at the National Ranching Heritage Center. “This year’s event promises to be no exception, offering guests an enchanting evening filled with exceptional artwork, lively Western swing music, and the chance to mingle with talented artists.” The Summer Stampede Western Art and Gear Show presented by Capital Farm Credit is a premier showcase of renowned Western artists and craftsmen. Highlighting the diversity of Western artistry, the exhibition will feature works by recognized artists and craftsmen including Billy Klapper, Bruce Greene, Emily McCartney, Herman Walker, Garland Weeks, Teal Blake, and many more. Each piece in the show embodies the spirit and heritage of ranching in keeping with the mission of the National Ranching Heritage Center.
Attendees can view and purchase authentic Western pieces—from exquisite paintings, photographs and sculptures to meticulously crafted cowboy gear—as well as meet many of the artists in person.
In addition to the art show, attendees have come to regard Summer Stampede as one of the most looked-forward to events of the year for its fun and friendly atmosphere. Enjoying a steak dinner by Cagle Steaks & BBQ on the patio and dancing to Jake Hooker & the
Outsiders under the West Texas stars has become the perfect kickoff to summer for 10 years running.

I am terribly saddened by all the argumentative discourse that seems to be going on in today’s world. It seems as though it is no longer enough just to disagree on certain issues. We are expected to classify someone as an enemy if they do not always agree with us on all issues, lest we be considered weak.
To make things even worse, because those who disagree with you are now considered enemies, the sentiment seems to be that it is only fair and proper to destroy them, because they are the enemy, again with the fear of ridicule for being weak if we do not fight.
With all that said, and seemingly unrelated, I am a big John Wayne fan. From watching him dive into his role as a cowboy, to marveling at his time portraying a soldier or appreciating his acting gig as a sailor, there is seldom a week that goes by without me watching at least one
