Calendar  - Event View

Holy buffalo chips! It's a new year already. I picked up a new calendar in old man Nevil's General Store and posted it on the wall of the bunk house. A close look at the first week of the New Year caught my attention right away. The first Cowboy Movie Night of the new year is on Wednesday the 3rd already. My first New Year's resolution is to attend every Cowboy Movie Night this year

This week's feature is "Riders of the Purple Sage." A 1996 movie starring Ed Harris and Amy Madigan. It is the tale of a single heiress put upon by elders of the local religious order to marry one of them and give up her independent ranching life style. A mysterious gunman searching for the man who caused his sister to commit suicide rides into her ranch and comes to her aid in putting an end to the rustling of her cattle and other depredations.

The movie is based on Zane Grey's best selling novel, Riders of the Purple Sage. The movie was filmed in the Moab area of my home state of Utah and is quite stunning. Movie begins at 6 PM and will be shown in the basement theater of the Sunny Ridge assisted living and rehabilitation facility. Snacks are provided.

Running time is 97 minutes.
