Cattlemen's Western Art Show and Sale Loses Founder

Show goes on in his memory

The unexpected passing of Cattlemen’s Western Art Show founder Larry Bees in February will be leaving a void in the 23rd annual show.

The artists new and well-seasoned will bring their passion and creations for you to enjoy during this event. They will also recollect their times with Larry and his wife Jackie.
