Spokesman for National Day of the Cowboy
Added: (Mon Feb 27 2006)
(Billings, MT) The National Day of the Cowboy nonprofit organization is proud to announce Montana Cowboy, TJ Casey, has signed on to be one of their official spokespersons. TJ’s purpose in supporting the organization is to encourage recognition and appreciation for all the history and heritage the National Day of the Cowboy represents. As a touring performer in Western music and Cowboy poetry, he is in a unique position to share information about the work of the organization with those who support the preservation of our Western heritage. National Day of the Cowboy is July 22, 2006.
A spokesperson for the National Day of the Cowboy Foundation must be someone who believes in the "Cowboy" way to the extent that they participate deeply and actively in some aspect of the preservation of America's Western heritage. In addition, a spokesperson for the organization should have a clear and accurate understanding of the history of the Cowboy resolution, a day set aside by the United States Senate to pay homage to our Cowboy and Western heritage, as well as to honor Cowboys and Cowgirls, rodeo athletes, Western musicians, Cowboy poets, Western artists, ranchers, and all others who contribute to the Cowboy and Western culture in America today.
As Bethany Braley, founder of the organization notes, “TJ is eminently suited to fill this role for us. He has dozens of national awards for Western singing, songwriting, and Cowboy poetry, while his entertainment travels take him from his beloved Montana all over America. The breadth of his dedication to the preservation of our Cowboy heritage is evident in his continued involvement in numerous other organizations which are also focused on key aspects of Western and Cowboy culture.
TJ Casey is deeply committed to supporting the work of the National Day of the Cowboy organization, because as he says, "Our culture, heritage, and roots are important to me and I feel it's critical that we continue to preserve the Cowboy way of life. This is a subject that I speak of daily and know on a first-hand basis, as I’ve lived on ranches in Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon for most of my life."
The mission of the National Day of the Cowboy Organization is to contribute to the preservation of America’s Cowboy heritage so that the history and culture which the National Day of the Cowboy honors, can be shared and perpetuated for the public good, through education, the arts, celebrations, gatherings, rodeos, and community activities.
