Good Day to You All,

With the recent spell of spring like weather, I was thinking. The herd usually stays together and huddles in gulches and other sheltered places to get out of the wind. They would also stay together to share body heat. Now they will think it is spring and they will start to roam and scatter in search of new grass, making our spring round up more of a challenge.

Let's not think about that. Let's plan to attend Cowboy Movie Night next Wednesday, March 6. Movie will be "She Wore a Yellow Ribbon." This 1949 classic is the second of the three John Ford "Cavalry Trilogy." It features John Wayne in the starring role as a cavalry troop commander, just days away from retirement, assigned the task of escorting his commander's wife and niece to safety when an Indian war is looming after Custer's defeat. In addition to John Wayne, the movie also features Joanne Dru, John Agar, Ben Johnson, Harry Carry, Jr., Victor McLaglen and Mildred Natwick.

The movie has a lot of appeal. It won an academy award for photographic cinematography. Filmed in Monument Valley, Utah, it has plenty of cavalry action and a syrupy romance story. Running time is 1 hour 44 minutes. Movie will be shown in the Sunny Ridge basement theater at 6 PM. Snacks and beverages provided by our small but capable posse from the Sheboygan Rifle and Pistol Club. Looking forward to seeing some of the new club members who indicated an interest in Cowboy Movie Night.
