High Noon Western Americana Show Dealer Spotlight

Joe Beeler

Beloved artist and friend, Joe passed away this year and will be sorely missed by us all. He set up a the 05 show to sell his book, Joe Beeler, Life of a Cowboy Artist, written by the Johnny Carson of the Cowboys, Mr. Don Hedgpeth. At this year’s 2006 show, he again set up near the other CAA artists along with his son Jody, grandson John, near his brother Ted. He came not only to sell books, but also to be there with his friends, family and many fans. We were honored to have him and will miss him terribly.

 

Jay Evetts

Jay remains the King of Silver and has sold more turquoise than anyone in the world. He has been in the business for over 30 years and everyone knows his sheepish smile and remembers mounds of silver that he always had stacked up in the Rainbow Man alley. Jay attended with his angels, friends Terry Schurmeier, Bob Vandenberg and Nicky Rivera. He was beaming in the light of the love that surrounded him and we were happy that he could make it there with us all.

 

Larry Peck & Cindy DeBeer

Newly wedded Larry and Cindy (after all these years!) continue to show their talent and generosity of spirit for both the Old West and the members of the NBSSCA by setting up a table filled with Larry’s “hardware” (spurs) and Cindy’s cowgirl artifacts. They’ve attended the show as dealers since 1994 and continue to bring good merchandise, but now Larry has a huge smile on his face.
