October in Ruidoso, it’s fi nally here! I spend all year waiting for this event to come back around. What a wonderful place to experience a bit of the past, the present and the future of true western entertainment. This year you’ll be seeing some new faces. We have invited some of our nations fi nest to perform for you. Of course, you’ll also be seeing those familiar faces of great entertainers who have helped to make this extraordinary event what it is today. I would like to sincerely extend a word of apprecia- tion to our hosts, R.D. and Joan Dale Hubbard. This event would not be possible without their continued support and love for our western way of life. So it’s time to enjoy the food, music, shopping and to just have a great time.
