Church is at 1205 Rogers Way - just off of Highway #1 in Kamloops, BC, Canada. Kamloops

give you a special "Festival Rate!" Don't forget to tell them, though. If you do need
accommodation please stay at one of the following as they do sponsor the Festival.
The prices quoted below are as accurate as possible but if the motels have not
supplied us with current information then these prices may not be correct .... please

may block a number of rooms at the following prices and when they are gone, they will
go back to their normal price. We have no control of this.

The 2015 Kamloops Cowboy Festival Poster Artist

The 2015 Kamloops Cowboy Festival poster art (drawing) has been chosen. It features this great drawing by Gordon Manson,
of Hugh McLennan.
Here's a little about Gordon Manson:
He now considers himself an international artist, having been successful in showing in juried shows in Canada and the United
States. He also has pieces in private collections in 3 provinces, 2 states and in Australia.
Gordon knew while growing up
in Manitoba that he was destined to be an artist. From an early age he expressed his love of Nature and wildlife, through
the use of oils, pen and ink and graphite. Studies at the University of Manitoba, where Gordon switched to acrylics on
canvas, honed the skills needed to express his energy and enthusiasm for outdoor life.
A series of exhibitions and awards
in British Columbia's lower mainland led him to his first one-man show, "Canadian Landscapes" in Maple Ridge in 1993.
Further studies at University of British Columbia and Emily Carr College of Art have raised Gordon's skills as an artist.
He now calls Armstrong, BC home. There he trains his horses and continues to draw and paint what inspires him. For two years
now (2015 will be his third) Gordon has coordinated the Art of the West Show and Sale at the BC Cowboy Heritage Society's
Kamloops Cowboy Festival.
