Cowpoke Fall Gathering 2010

This week is Cowpoke Fall Gathering
and has been declared Western Week here in Loomis!
Businesses were invited to decorate their store windows in true western fashion

along with the theme, Tough Enough to Wear Pink.

The first place winner would receive a basket including the grand prize,

a commercial on the country radio station 101.9 the WOLF!!

(valued at more than we would ever be able to afford)

Everyone in town competed and had amazing window displays. Some even had real live critters in their windows! We had a great time putting ours together with everything from a door off our own barn to my own saddle and tack. We included some of our western style portraits along with the old stuff from the barn. :-)

The judging took place this morning, and wouldn't you know it, WE WON!!

The founders of Cowpoke Fall Gathering came and surprised us with the first place winning basket!

We have so enjoyed being a part of this amazing event and are so grateful to the Brauns and Brenda Newsom!

And yes.... we ARE tough enough to wear pink! :-)
