This coffee stand over at the annual Yavapai Cattle Growers Bar-B-Que was operated by the Yavapai Cowbelles, an organization of ranch women. They also had another stand for the annual quilt raffle. The quilt, featuring brands from ranches in the county, was also displayed at the recent Cowboy Poets Gathering.



And if you don't win the raffle this year or next, the Cowbelles have a cotton throw, also featuring local brands.


But maybe the most interesting activity of the group is collecting local tales from a past that I'm sure was a lot more colorful than our present! And, good news, a third volume is at the printer right now; it should be available before Christmas.
