The Stony Plain Cowboy Gathering Society is a brave group of dedicated volunteers committed to
"The preservation and presentation of historical and contemporary
Cowboy Poetry, Music and Art."
In 2009 the Stony Plain Cowboy Gathering Society will be hosting the 17th annual Edition of this legendary gathering. We've invited a crew of great artists to join us this year.
And with the stellar line-up of poets, pickers, and artists coming in 2009, the gathering is shaping up to be the greatest ever and the Stony Plain Cowboy Gathering Society (The Posse) is ready and rarin' to go.
The mailing address of the society is:
P.O. Box 2766

DONNA COWAN:
President.
This is Donna’s third year back with the posse, but she was a posse member at the Gathering’s beginnings. She was also on Stony Plain’s town council for 4 years and then Mayor for 12 more. Recently retired as Mayor, she drives the posse’s sponsorship wagon and co-ordinates all the whoopla that lets you know what’s happenin’ on our spread. No moss grows on her wheels – never has!

JESSI CHARLES:

Jessi keeps the tally sheets so the posse knows what’s happenin’ all the time. She attends meetings that usually take hours and turns them into minutes (get it?) Keeps us from getting’ tangled in each other’s ropes.

IRIS URSULIAK:
Secretary
We are so busy settin' up the show that we have more than enough work for one secretary so Iris helps Jesse keep track of all the meetings and shares the notetaking duties. You may recognize Iris from the Museum Tea House where she ramrods the kitchen.

CHRIS "DEPUTY DAWG" BASS
Director at Large
Chris has certainly earned his spurs with his dedicated duty in overseeing the site facilities. He knows how many the corrals will hold, where to bunch ‘em, what to do in an electrical storm. Top hand on this spread for years.

JEAN SHAUL:
Director at Large
Since our beginnings in 1993, Jean has been bringing our best western hospitality to those from other spreads who annually grace our Gathering’s stages. No one goes hungry when she’s around and we’re all treated with the true grace of a pure gold cowgirl.
