SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS
Craig Cameron
in the Cameron Arena: Called the "public defender of the horse," Craig
dedicates himself to those who educate their horses by first educating
themselves. Craig has created a program that builds confidence and trust between
man and horse. Rather than fight the animal, he offers patience and
understanding that leaves the horse wanting to do what is asked of him. See
schedule for days and times.
Rooster
Morris: Hank the Cow Dog in Concert at the Tuffy Cooper Family Stage: A
fiddlin', storytellin' Rooster Morris returns and will again mesmerize all ages
with his stories and songs about Hank the Cow Dog, a ranch dog and his
adventures.
Rooster Morris grew up living the cowboy life. At the age of five, Rooster began riding horses and working cattle with his father on ranches in the tri —state area of Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. Living in remote places, Rooster developed a unique way of entertaining himself. He started imitating bird calls and coyotes howling then began working on voices. Little did he know that many years later, the skills he taught himself would result in the recording of an audio book written by John Erickson. See schedule for days and times.
