Throughout the country, state parks, historic sites, homes, buildings, museums, and similar institutions are struggling to continue operating. Because of general financial problems, many of these institutions are operating on a reduced schedule or in danger of closing. Some are being forced to sell off artifacts and property. Many will not weather these hard times without your help. Places Earth urges everyone to support these vital and important public resources any way you can. Please donate your treasure, time, and talent. Write to your governor and other elected officials telling them to find a way to keep state parks open. It will be your loss. Public Service Announcement | Test space for future ad if donations don't increase. |

Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival
All photographs taken by Kenneth A. Larson. All rights reserved. © 2009 - 2012.| The Santa Clarita Cowboy Festival is held in Spring (usually April) and has been held the last several years at Melody Ranch where many Western movies and TV shows have been filmed. Originally dubbed Cowboy Poetry Festival, eventually music took center stage and the word "poetry" was dropped, but it is still as entertaining as ever. Music, poetry, food, and shopping are the highlights in a western setting. These images are from the 16th annual Festival in 2009. |
