Saturday evening Entertainment:

Cowboy Poet Bill May of Kearney and Pat Boilesen of Albion will be the featured entertainment. 

Bill will bring tears to the eyes but just as quickly bring laughter to replace the tears as he turns his farming experience into poetry.   He is humorous, sometime serious but always something his audience can relate to.  He has been invited to appear on prestigious Cowboy Poet states across the Midwest.

Pat has been performing on stages all across the US for 25 years.  She takes her music into any setting with ease.  She appeals to school children, senior citizens and all ages in between.  As a recording artist, she has 10 albums to her credit with airplay in Belgium, Ireland and here at home.  She has performed at Silver Dollar City in Branson, Mo. and is an inductee into the National Old-Time Music Hall of Fame in Anita, Iowa.
