Ron McCoy: Campfire Tales

FREE LECTURE:

Ron McCoy will share some of his favorite tales — heard around campfires in the ten states he lived — that are bound to become some of your favorites too.

Ron has been riding and working with horses and cattle for more than sixty years. He has participated in many roundups both in Texas and Arizona and trail riding as well as writing are his favorite pastimes. Over the years, he has made is home in Illinois, Arkansas, Texas, Colorado, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, Kentucky and Arizona. Ron served as Chairman of the Board at the Indiana Trail Riders Association for six years and built an overnight campground for horses in Indiana’s Versailles State Park. In his retirement years, you can find him working at boarding stables and ranches.

He has published three books: Campfire Tales and other Adventures, Murder at the Joshua Tree and Your Cowboy is Gone. Stop into the Gift Shop after the lecture and buy your copies.
