Cowboy concert gives kids True Grit experience at Children's Museum in Carson City
Texas musical artist Purly Gates treated families to a kid-friendly song-a-long concert Sunday at the Children's Museum of Northern Nevada in Carson City.
Gates, a multi-instrumentalist "cowgirl" singer-songwriter and poet from the Lone Star State, had her young audience on its feet Sunday afternoon during an hour-long interactive concert that celebrated the month-long National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) Big Read event.
The Big Read theme in Carson City throughout the month of May has been "True Grit," the American western novel written by Charles Portis.
