City Proclaims January 3-9, 2016, as Cowboy Poetry Week

With a full round of “yeas” and the stroke of the mayor’s pen, local leaders called upon the citizens of Payson City to, once again, support the art of cowboy poetry. Payson City Council signed the proclamation on November 18 designating January 3-9, 2016, as Cowboy Poetry Week, a timeframe that will correspond with the upcoming annual cowboy poetry symposium in Payson.

The designation arose out of a request made by the Cowboy Poets Association, according to City Manager Dave Tuckett.  This year’s proclamation follows others signed by Payson leaders in years past.
