"The Wickedest"

Ellsworth, Kansas - We’ll keep those “dogies” rollin’ into Ellsworth at 4:00pm and the end of our drive. The old cattle town will be waiting anxiously for the cattle to arrive. Come celebrate the 150th Kansas Anniversary in true cowboy style, at the End of the Trail!
Western Music “End of the Trail Concert” will feature Barry Ward, Judy Coder, Prairie Rose Rangers, and of course our Cowboy Poet and MC, Geff Dawson. Concert starts at 7:00pm at Ellsworth High School PAC Center on Saturday September 24, 2011.
