Geoff Mackay, also known as Poppa Mac, performs a poem about his love of cowboy hats Friday night inside the theatre at the Danny and Willa Ellis Family Fine Arts Center on the campus of Fort Scott Community College. Mackay, who hails from Winnepeg, Manitoba, Canada, was one of 11 contestants entered into the cowboy poetry and singing competition.
The 18th Annual Echoes of the Trail Cowboy Gathering takes place this weekend on the FSCC campus. Some of the activities are a chuck wagon meal, pie baking contest, silent auction and open mic. Visitors can also browse the trade show at no charge.
