We continue to be enthusiastic about our Second Annual Cowboy Day in Buckingham County, but since we first reported our event in this publication, we have had some changes. Buck Taylor was unable to commit to the event due to a conflict of interest, so this year's Guest Of Honor will once again be LARRY STORCH, better known as Corporal Agarn from the 1960's TV series "F-TROOP"!! Larry returns for the second year to headline the show, & is looking forward to meeting all of his Virginia fans!! Also appearing will be Chief Steve Silverheels, son of Jay "Tonto" Silverheels; & Russ McCubbin, West Virginia's Movie & TV Star, who has appeared in numerous movies & TV shows over the years. All the other events we mentioned previously are still gonna happen, so actually very little has changed!! So. come on out, & have a RIP-SNORTIN' HIGH-FALOOTIN' BUFFALO-WHOMPIN' HECK OF A GOOD TIME!!!
