Get Behind the Scenes in Elko on our Blogs

Image The Western Folklife Center has entered the blogosphere. Read our staff blog about the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering at www.westernfolklifecenter.wordpress.com. Kristin Windbigler, a long-time Deep West Video filmmaker, also blogged for us at www.mountaingirl.com. She wrote about her latest Deep West Video which is called, “Hello, Goodbye! A Guide to Waving in the Country,” which premiered at the Gathering on Thursday, January 28. We were also joined by a third blogger, Dan Gudgel, a stage manager at the Gathering. In Dan's blog, Herding Cowboys: Backstage at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering , he gives us a behind-the-scenes perspective.
