National Day of the Cowboys Saturday.
It's a day to celebrate and preserve the
heritage of the American cowboy cowgirl.
And nobody better to tell us
about that than Amber Pfeiffer.
She's director of development
at the Briscoe Museum.
All right, so how did the Natiol
Day of the Cowboy, how did that
come to be? Yeah, well,
it's really just a national
celebration of all thing cowboy,
the Carroll. And of course,
Cowgirl missed that mark right there.
But ultimately,
the entire nation is going to celebrate.
And here in Texas, in San Anton,
we believe that we are the
birth place of the West.
And so we want you to come
down 3:50 and join us for
nationally. The cowboy
sounds like a lot of fun.
Amber, OK, I see a lot of stuff here.
What is going on?
So there's a lot of crafts and f
for the family and a lot of fun
music. We have Eva Avara,
who is an famous accordionist
who will be there playing.
We also have. Live crafts.
We have at least 6 to 8 stations where kids
can work with their parents and their family
and friends to create great activities.
We'll have a story time where we
do a little book reading as wel,
and it's also a chance to see our amazing
permanent collection at the Bristol Museum.
We have great art and artifacts,
plus we get the little snake.
Yeah, watch out for our rattles.
So what are we making?
We are making a stick pony,
which might be our most popular
craft at National Day of the Co.
Ultimately,
kids are going to make their own stick pony.
We can
just see them riding all over the place and
we have an authentic barrel
racing course set up for them
to test their rodeo skills.
So we really want them to come ,
spend some time doing art.
Also spending some energy.
OK, well, let's make.
OK, so you'll have a blue stick right here.
You're going to go ahead and grab some eyes.
You'll see.
I already kind of got my eyes pt
on. Yeah, all kind of googly ey.
I guess they are googly eyes.
And then with that,
we're also going ahead,
Put the little glue here. You
can put them anywhere.
The best part is we're going
to tie them off at the bottom.
So work your eyes
on this. Oh, on this side. OK.
Mistake one there. OK, So you pt
our little eyes on there. Origil
work. And they all look very
unique when they're done.
OK. But ultimately,
our goal is. There you go.
He's a ghost right now. Yeah.
OK. And as we build out,
you're gonna grab some ears right here.
We'll get some ears.
The ears are gonna go ahead
and be glued on top of that.
So you just use the glue as wel?
Yes. Same same product.
Just glue. Everything OK.
Super family friendly and easy to do.
Yeah. Look at that.
He's locked in blue.
Always. Yeah.
But then ultimately,
when we're done,
what we do is we're going
to tie this around our
stick Mine's a little bit,
mine's A1 eared pony right
now. It doesn't matter
what color here, right? It
doesn't. It doesn't matter what color you do.
Again, they're all original wor.
You can pick any kind of hair
you want to put on them.
Again, you see this guy's a lite
bit more well put together.
It does take some time and the
kids spend a lot of energy.
We'll deal with that later,
but the kids spend a lot of
energy putting these together.
Together and making a pony that
they can be really proud of.
