The council approved a proclamation recognizing Cowboy Poetry Week and promoted a community event tied to the proclamation.

The chair explained the event includes a symposium business meeting followed by a concert of alternating musicians and poets at 7:00 p.m. at the Veterans Home on North Main; admission is $5 with free entry for veterans residing at the home. "So we'll just do a proclamation for, cowboy poetry week," the meeting leader said as the council recognized the annual event the board has hosted for 10–12 years.
