Best in Show, Silver Dollar City 2006

Visit Silver Dollar City's website for the prize winning cowboy boots of the Best of American Bootmakers Competetition 2006.

Park visitors voted for their favorite pairs in five categories: "Novice," "Work," "Office," and "Stage" boots... along with "Best Shop Effort," a category for larger boot companies where a boot is passed from hand to hand during its construction.

As the newest offering in the Festival of American Music & Crafts ...there were nearly 60 pairs of boots entered in the contest and bootmakers demonstrating their craft. I'm making my plans to attend next year's competition... September 13 through October 27. See you there!

Custom Cowboy Boots in High-Def

Well the "buzz" has already started for Bodacious Boots, an hour-long feature documentary all about cowboy boots.

Bodacious Boots is a high-spirited ode to the cowboy boot and the famous and infamous personalities who make them, wear them, and love them.

Yep. It's true. The film includes an ever-growing list of boomakers including Pascal, Lee Miller and Stephanie Ferguson ...filmed in high-def along side the likes of Lyle Lovett, Kelly LeBrock, Kinky Friedman (and appearing soon, yours truly.)
