"Red-You have such a great way of making everyone feel so special. The Jardine outfit was completely thrilled with the Cowboy Gathering, in every regard. Count on us being back in 2009."
-Bobby McGee, Jardine Foods

"Red, Thanks for a wonderful weekend! I have a feeling this was the biggest Gathering in the 18 years. Thanks for making such a difference in so many lives. There were a lot of smiles on people's faces throughout the weekend, both young and old."

"This was our first year to attend the Cowboy Gathering and it was great! God willing it will not be the last. It was our kind of music and just made us realize how much we miss it now days. Not much Country Music anymore. What a shame that our grandkids think they are listening to country music with the likes of Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, etc.!! They are okay singers but it "ain't" country---at least not in our opinion. We know it takes a lot of time and effort to put it together each year and we just hope it's as much fun for the Steagalls as it was for us on Saturday. We're already looking forward to next year!"

"Well, you did it again! It was great and the weather couldn't have been better. My husband Lee is the 2007 artist of the year designated by the Texas State Commission of the Arts and he got some great shots, and the light was perfect."

"Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to say thank you for all your hard work this weekend. The Gathering was another great one to put down in the books. Thanks for all you did for us. Have a great week!"
-Debbie, Young Ranch

"HI What a nice, crazy, fun weekend! It has always been a fun event but it seems every year it gets better if that is possible. Please tell Red how much we appreciate his asking us to participate. It is truly a highlight for us and sincerely means so much to all of us to be included."
-Quebe Sisters Band
Thanks and we love y'all - Sherry

"I would like to thank you, Red and Gail, and anyone else responsible for having me at your gathering, and what a gathering it was! I don't know when Glen and I have had a better time. The motel was a fine place to stay and the whole line-up of events was more than I imagined. Glen especially enjoyed the ranch rodeo. Would you believe, he had never seen one? He really liked watching the horses work. Anyway, thank you so much for inviting me and rolling out the red carpet."
-Yvonne

"Red, Debbie, Casey, Gail, Bill, and all: Thanks so much for all the work you do to put together the Gathering. We appreciate the hours and hard work you put in. It means so much to us to be part of the Gathering, we are truly honored! Thank you for helping preserve our western heritage and providing an example of living history with the chuck wagon camp. We have so much fun meeting people and visiting as they tour the wagon camp. Again, thank you, thank you!"
-John and Becky Conway

"Our family visited the Cowboy Gathering for the first time ever this weekend (although we've listened to Red's music for many years). We plan to make the Cowboy Gathering an annual family event! It was delightful to step back into the Old West. We also appreciate Red's graciousness in posing for a picture with my husband and son after Cowboy Church this morning."

"Hey Red, I've been going to your Cowboy Gathering for the past 4 years and I just wanna say thanks for keeping our heritage alive. I like going somewhere that cowboy doesn't translate into big buckles and flashy bull riding. Thank you sir and see you this year."
