Cowboy Poetry & Mandy Moore
Don't look now, but the Heber City Cowboy Poetry Gathering and Buckaroo Fair begins Nov. 3.
Tix are available at www.smithstix.com</a>
The first assignment I received at this newspaper was to write about the gathering, and I flooded the zone as we newspapermen call it, reporting the s____ out of the story. I am still shocked the committee responsible for handing out Pulitzers snubbed me.
Actually, it wasn't my first assignment here. During the interview process, I was assigned a Mandy Moore story to report. Floooded the zone on that one, too. Today I am still surprised at my effort on that one, writing what seemed to be a million-word piece on Ms. Moore. If we ever decide run to run a Mandy Moore quiz in the paper, I could write the one thing from memory.
