The 29th Annual Alzada Cowboy Poetry, Music and Art Show saw a smaller crowd of about 125 people attend but the community spirit inside the old hall was as lively as ever. "Why we
do this.. was very evident throughout the day which included a full program of poetry and music in the afternoon. Several performers were unable to come due to the fog and snowy rainy
weather. The featured performers of Kevin Adams, Casper,WY; Karen Stockett, Fallon, MT; Pam Nisley, Broadus, MT and The Amigas group from Sundance, WY along with 15 other
performers had the audience laughing, crying, singing along and taping their toes to the music. Twenty artists displayed their many pieces of artwork including quilts and fence post vases as
well as photographs and painting done in various mediums. Kathy Thompson, Whitewood, SD and Angeli Coover, Hulett, WY were the featured artists. Some of the artwork,photos and
performers books and tapes were for sale.
The Alzada Community Club sponsor the event and sold lunch all day. Along with the smaller crowd, proceeds from the lunch were also less than in previous years. If you were unable to
attend but would like to send a donation to help with maintaining the hall, please send it to Gay Arpan, Box 38, Alzada, MT. 59311.
The community would like to thank all those who help with the annual event and suggest you mark your calendar for the 2019 event which is planned for October 6, 2019. The organizers
are planning a "90th Birthday Party for the Hall and 30 years of Poetry, Music and Art Shows." If anyone has a special memory of an event in the Alzada Hall, please send those memories
