Having fun in Elko

Well we are on our 3rd day in Elko. And of course as always Vickie is the belle of the ball! I wish I could be a mouse in her pocket. (sometimes :) ) Here are a few pictures of the setup and venue. We also get some of the performers to stop in and say Hi! I suppose I should get moving it's about 10 minutes to open. Let's see what fun we can create today!!

Actually I'm speechless with this one!

Sorry the pictures are fuzzy. People move so fast sometimes and they don't like to pose till you get a nice shot.

Happy New Year!

We hope you all had a wonderful holiday season! Destinae is back and ready to blog. There is so much going on and coming up here at Hitching Post Supply I'm wondering where to begin! How about a hearty Congratulations to HPS's dear friend Ian Tyson for being named Western Horsman's "Horseman of the Year"! Pick up the current issue of Western Horseman to read the full article. Also check out their website to view a slideshow of Ian photos, set to him performing "Blaino's Song" in that new voice that is causing quite a stir.

Hitching Post Supply is also traveling quite a bit this month. Vickie will be at WESA Trade Show in Denver, Colorado, January 15-19th. It's a one stop shop for retailers to look and purchase goods from suppliers. So encourage your local store to carry Ian Tyson and many of the other great cowboy & western singers, they have over 150 titles to choose from! Tell them to stop by booth PB223, say Hi to Vickie and Blaine McIntyre of "Blaino's Song".

While Karrie stays home and mans the post in Snohomish, so all your orders are still filled on time, Vickie, Lee and I hang out in Elko, Nevada at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. This year's Gathering will be held January 23 - 30th. The Gathering opens on the 23rd, with Cowcamp Trading Post opening on the 27th. This will be Vickie's 19th year hosting this venue, so you had better stop in and see us, you never know what she'll be up too! ;) This is also my opportunity to step out from behind this computer and meet all of you. Cowcamp Trading Post is host to a number of the top western artisans and craftsmens from all over the United States, offering everything from custom saddles and tack, to boots, silverwork, artwork, clothing and so much more. And of course HPS will be there with CD's of the performers, tack, and collectables. Stop in and say hi, we'd love to meet those of you that are following us on the web. I'll be bringing the camera with me and quite possibly the laptop, so maybe in some free time we can post updates.

Hitching Post Supply is also adding new products to the store so be watching for featured products in the weeks to come.
