Baxter Black has spent his workin' life in the mountain West tormenting cows, but now he travels the country tormenting cowboys. Black has accepted an invitation from the Duncan Noon Lions to share his special brand of insight with the people of Duncan.

Everything about Baxter is cowboy, from his cartoonish mustache to his personality to his poetry. He makes a living shining a spotlight on the flaws and foibles of everyday cowboy life, the day-to-day ups and downs of people who live with livestock and work the land.

The cowboy poet, ex-veterinarian and sorry team roper will begin to pace the stage of Duncan High School auditorium at 7:30 p.m. April 10.

The Lions feel this event will have a double benefit for the area. The popular humorist will have special appeal for area farmers and ranchers and proceeds from the event will help the Lions continue their efforts to assist area youth, particularly with vision health.
