 The
Nara Visa Gathering is recognized as one of the most pure cowboy gatherings
in America. Buck Ramsey, Phil Martin, and Andy Wilkinson founded it in
1993. This is one of the smaller, more isolated cowboy gatherings. Nara
Visa is a small ranch town in the Canadian River Breaks, just inside the
New Mexico state line and sits barely west of what was the western border
of the legendary XIT Ranch. |
The Gathering stresses fellowship
and congeniality and is conducted according to the old time Chautauqua
format. One of the best-staged, pure cowboy shows in America is done at
Nara Visa. 
The Gathering follows the most simple approach possible; the concept of “top billing” does not exist at Nara Visa. Everyone who wishes is permitted to contribute to the program and all are regarded as being important to the success of the Gathering. Shows are not organized until everyone arrives on Friday night. |
| A schedule of events is
announced, but not rigidly followed, therefore giving this Gathering
a uniquely relaxed atmosphere. Emphasis is placed on doing things the
old timey way, in other words, the friendly way. Most folks agree that Nara Visa is a gathering that must be experienced to be appreciated. The historic old school grounds and the rolling grassland prairies around Nara Visa provide a perfect setting. |
 We
encourage you to come and see for yourself. Maybe you will agree with
Buck Ramsey’s assessment that Nara Visa is the “best cowboy
shindig that ever was.” |
