The Museum of the West is honoring its founder, Gene Autry, with a party.
The call of the trail, the thrill of roaming the range, the crackle of the campfire, and the strum of a lonesome guitar: Our American mythos is steeped with colorful and moving cowboy lore.The movies, of course, easily cast a lasso around our cowboy-directed fancies early on, and few film stars kept fans riveted, and humming along, like Gene Autry so winningly did.
The Golden Era legend ruled the sagebrush-strewn silver screen, with"Riders in the Sky" and"Mule Train" among his many well-remembered works.His legacy can be revisited daily at the Griffith Park-based destination founded by the iconic cowboy over 35 years ago:And on Sunday, Sept. 29, a few festive happenings will clip-clop through the galleries, including a 10:30 a.m. and noon Gene Autry-themed tours as well as a 2 p.m.
Karla Buhlman, the former president of the Gene Autry Entertainment and Director of the Gene Autry Music Group, will be on hand to present the"Melody Ranch" screening. Adding to the cheer of the event? If you show up in your cowboy boots or hat — or, dagnabbit, your full cowboy kit, from chaps to kerchief — you'll be treated to a special"vintage" Gene Autry gift.
Discounts on Gene Autry-related merchandise will also be available, so make time to browse the museum's excellent gift shop.28-year-old made 15 offers, went $65,000 over asking price and still got rejected: The housing market is ‘a slap in the face'
