I painted an original painting for the cover so I decided I’d donate the painting to help with the sales. You will get one chance to win the painting with every cookbook you pre-order. The painting depicts a true old west campfire scene.
The crew is taking orders now for the books and the drawing will be on Oct 11th at the Western Art Show. You don’t need to be present to win the painting. We will limit the chances to the first 500 books sold. They tell me this will make a great Christmas Gift. So I say order several and give them away and we will say thanks for benefiting our Art Program!
