Reno Jag Club Outing to the Cowboy Poetry & Music Festival in Genoa

Five Jags graced the Tamarack parking lot for our road trip to Genoa. Harry Keast was the first to arrive, just to say hello and bid us adieu, as he wasn’t able to join us. The Minedews, Buxtons and MacNeils arrived, then Gerard Garra and Lola Mitchell pulled in with his beautiful restored red Jaguar (see photos.)

We were able to park our cars close to town in a grassy area at the Wild Rose Inn in Genoa, thanks to Sue Knight, the owner, who even put up the Jaguar parking sign for us! After walking a short distance to the center of town, we had worked up an appetite, so started our visit with a pancake breakfast. We were in plenty of time for the performance of Richard Elloyan, as well as two other acts. It turns out that Sue was the moderator, and announced that Richard’s fan club – the Reno Jaguar Club - was in attendance!

Some of us stayed to explore the activities and shops, and for afternoon performances by Dennis Golden and Texas Tom Weatherby, and the Minedews finished off the day with an early cowboy dinner. It was a very fun day.
