Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see two famous Nevada characters come to life in a Chautauqua about the great cowboy artist and author Will James and his wife Alice on Sunday, June 26 at the CVIC Hall in Minden.
The Will James Society, a 501c3 organization, was formed to preserve and promote the legacy of James. They are holding the Chautauqua that will feature well-known actors Mike Olson and Kim Harris who just completed a two-year study of Will and Alice. The show starts with cowboy poets Harold Miller and Richard Smith as opening acts along with music by Tony Ilardi who will sing the "Will James Song."
There will also be a silent auction with many great collectibles including rare Will James books, western items, a great supply of hay horse tack and framed posters, prints, and some original western art. The auction opens at 5:00 p.m. for those who want to get those bids in.
Tickets are $25, $20 for seniors, and $10 for kids 16 and under. Scholarship, membership, and book-gifting applications will be on hand, so join in the memorable evening with so much local talent and salute our western heritage and much more!
