Grounds
in
Lincoln.

p.m.
“The
Last
Escape
of
Billy
The
Kid”
is
a
Folk
Pageant
centering
around
the
life
of
the
legendary
outlaw,
Billy
the
Kid.
This
Pageant
was
first
presented
in
the
year
1940.
The
episodes
of
the
pageant
are
based
on
historical
facts
of
the
notorious
Lincoln
County
War,
and
in
particular
its
focus
is
centered
upon
the
best
remembered
of
its
fighters,
Billy
the
Kid.
The
Pageant
portrays
many
scenes
to
include
the
killing
of
John
Tunstall
which
precipitated
Billy's
wrathful
vengeance,
the
Battle
of
Blazer's
Mill
in
which
the
courageous
"Buckshot
Roberts"
stood
off
Billy
and
his
twelve
cohorts,
the
siege
of
the
McSween
House,
up
to
Billy's
incarceration
in
the
Lincoln
County
Courthouse
and
his
remarkable
escape.
Many
of
the
players
are
descendants
of
the
original
Pageant
participants.
The
players
still
live
the
Western
life
they
portray
in
the
Pageant.
These
people
have
gladly
donated
their
time,
energy
and
possessions.
They
are
the
real
heroes
of
this
Folk
Play
-
one
of
the
very
few
remaining
in
the
United
States
made
up
entirely
of
local
players
without
any
professional
help.
This
is
unique
and
living

Each year, during the second full weekend in October, Ruidoso Downs, New Mexico plays host to the nation's finest cowboy poets, musicians (including the world famous Texas Playboys), chuckwagon cooks, western artists and craftsmen for three days of events, competitions, and workshops. In 1996, the symposium was selected as the Best Cowboy Cultural Event by theNational Cowboy Symposium Association. In addition, the LCCS has been named one of North America's top 100 events by the American Bus Association. This year Asleep at the Wheel headlines the Thursday night concert. Western Swing is still the King -- and nowhere is that more evident than our Friday night dance and Saturday concert. The Friday dance will feature Jody Nix. On Saturday night enjoy a concert by the Gatlin Brothers. Additional entertainers will be Floyd Domino and The All Stars, Red Steagall, Ginny Mac, Pete Laumbach, R, J, Vandygriff, Chuck Cusimano, plus many more great entertainers. Sometimes there is a surprise guest to join forces to get the crowd swingin' to the liveliest music west of the Mississippi!
