HOWDY!

The Big Bear Cowboy Gathering Committee welcomes you to the 12th Annual Gathering. We are looking forward to a fabulous event filled with top cowboy entertainers. Headlining the Gathering is R. W. Hampton who is the #1 Cowboy Entertainer in the USA and UK! Joining R. W. are cowboy artists Belinda Gail, Dennis Gaines, Richard Elloyan, Sourdough Slim and Diane Tribitt and Nancy Lee and the Crosstown Cowboys. What a great lineup! Our theme this year is Sunrise in Big Bear. The 2011 poster depicts the beautiful sunrises in the big sky area of our Valley. The poster is by a local photographer, Morgan Seaman. The Big Bear Cowboy Gathering, a non-profit corporation, is proud to be able to sponsor a $1000.00 scholarship to a deserving Big Bear High School student. In addition, we have donated to the Big Bear Valley Education Trust. This is a group of folks who are working on several projects to support the students in our Valley. Cowboy poetry and music has been a part of the West for over 100 years. These words in rhyme and music express the values of our country, home and family. The following is our Mission Statement:

The Big Bear Cowboy Gathering is a celebration of western heritage and cowboy life through performances in cowboy poetry and music.
