Poetry reading by Montana’s Poet “Lariat,” cowboy poet Wally McCrae of the Rocker Six Cattle Co. Ranch south of Forsyth, Montana. In addition to being a rancher, McRae is a cowboy poet and a philosopher. He was named one of The Missoulian’s Most Influential Montanans of the 20th Century and was appointed by President Bill Clinton to serve on the National Council of the Arts. According to MEIC’s executive director Jim Jensen, “McRae is truly the West at its Best.” His performances are poignant, personal, and profound. He inspires laughter yet makes you cry for the threats of destruction of his Montana home country.
Light appetizers and drinks will be served.
Presented by MEIC to benefit the Rosebud Protective Association, a group founded by Colstrip area ranchers led by McRae.
