Mark your calendars to attend this intriguing event on Wednesday, September 10th, beginning at 6:00 p.m. in McConnelsville. In Eight Seconds of Grace, Thad recounts John McBeth’s career from its beginning, breaking colts with his father on the home place in Kansas, to the saddle bronc world championship and cowboy hall of fame. “Through John’s own tales the reader is treated to the sights and sounds that held sway in the champion’s mind over all the years: stories of great broncs and great men; stories of strife and character; stories of the road and the humor and camaraderie that sustained them”, says Beery. Through interviews with multiple world champions, hall of fame cowboys, announcers, stock contractors, students, and his fellow competitors, a picture is painted of the Kansas cowboy who seemingly could do no wrong. Copies will be available for purchase at the event and Thad is pleased to autograph his work during a meet and greet session immediately following his presentation.
