Over the duration of this special event, there are many different cowboy themed activities that are sure to engage all age groups from concerts put on by western musicians and cowboy poets to a cook off and dancing.

Have you been to the Saddle Up! festival in the past? Even for the experienced Saddle Up! participants there will be new activities to enjoy. New to the festival this year is a “Stories & Strings” concert which brings together come of Country Western’s best from all around the country. The performers will not only perform their music, but they will also discuss what their major influences are and even demonstrate some of their techniques. It should be noted that this is a unique concert experience as well; these artists have never performed together before, and may never perform together again in the future.  Surely you would not want to miss out on this truly once in a lifetime concert experience!
