Cowboy Weekend or Western Heritage Weekend features an all star lineup of performers.
In the past it enjoyed the talents of
Sourdough Slim, (also known as Rick Crowder) serves up Vaudevillian camp with cowboy
lore. Among his credits are the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, The Kennedy Center
in Washington, DC and Carnegie Hall and The Lincoln Center in New York. A
doubting city-slicker audience quickly sees why country is cool when Sourdough
Slim sets foot on stage. His
fast-paced stage show combines cowboy singing, award winning yodeling,
comedy, accompaniment on accordion, guitar, ukulele and harmonica and a keen
knowledge of Old West tradition.
Didn't know that cowboy magicians exist? Well, you're going to find out when you
watch
Cowboy Magician Lincoln Bond in action. He embodies the Magic of the Old West, masterfully
presenting familiar scenes interwoven with the romance and
mystery. Lincoln is a true rope twirlin', quick drawin',
sharp shootin', horse ridin', rip roarin' real cowboy. This tall, dark, and
handsome stranger gets respect from his fellow cowboys and makes the women swoon
in their bonnets.
Shirley Lorraine is an entertainer who is making her mark in the world of
western and cowboy poetry. Her popular and lighthearted verse, which is drawn
from the humor of the west, is always an audience favorite.
Jim Spencer is a humorist and award winning magician. In addition to offering a
splash of comedy as the show’s MC, he presents a magical tribute to the old time
medicine shows as they were performed from the backs of wagons in the old west.
Old Town Temecula Gunfighters are a troupe of performers who stage choreographed
mini-dramas & gunfights depicting life in "Temecula in the late 20’s and 30’s.
There were murders, a bank robbery, a flood, and visits by Hollywood
celebrities. Prize fighters Jack Dempsey and Jack Sharkey worked out in a
makeshift ring on the second floor of the old Welty building at Front and Main
Streets over the Blind Pig Saloon and some moon-shining was conducted in the
surrounding hills." Dressed in wild west attire, the gunfighters give the
audience a glimpse of what life was like back in the Old West. Each show is
preceded by a gun safety talk and safety demonstration.
Jim Townsley, a trick roper, has delighted audiences from Universal Studios to
every major Western heritage event in the West. Whether performing on stilts of
demonstrating tricks with the lasso at ground lever, he will be sure to
entertain young and old alike.
There will also be Card Games of the Wild West, a balloon artist, and we hope to
have a visit from the famous Limey Cowboys!
