This was first posted 10 years ago, October 16, 2015. Having authors come visit Ten Sleep is one of the most enjoyable parts of my job! I enjoyed my time with Scott Werbelow two days ago and then this is what popped up in my history. Cat Urbigkit, you are missed and loved by those of us here at the Ten Sleep Library. Come see us when you can, we’re ready for your laughter!
Hunter Fest is an annual event held the day before Opening Day of Deer Season. You know, the biggest holiday in October, right??? Free hamburgers, pop, tshirts… a raffle or two… and the most enjoyable for me, Wyoming author, Cat Urbigkit.
Although she was just here for One Book Wyoming, Cat thought she’d promote her newest book, When Man Becomes Prey. She shared the booth with the Washakie County Library Foundation. They were selling raffle tickets for a Longmire poster. It was the cover of Cowboys and Indians magazine with Robert Taylor on it, framed quite nicely with an autographed Wyoming license plate below it. Gee, I wonder who stood around and stalked those actors for HOURS getting those signatures??? (Best news there? My SISTER won it!!! So I can visit it quite regularly!!!)
Anyway… we love having Cat here… I get to paint the door of the library…
and chat about everything under the sun… dogs, predators, ranching, stories…
then Someone got silly… and turned her signs into prisoner ID numbers.
I don’t know how that happened, but evidently it was too much for Cat…
I am NOT sharing the most hilarious, because there were many, many more… but I’d hate for those to get out on the internet and ruin the distinguished persona of this year’s One Book Wyoming author.
Let me say this… if Cat Urbigkit comes to your community, you might want to hunt her up… She’s a kick!
Find me here!
I love Cat’s books on Livestock Guardians – dogs and other critters. I have a hunting hound breed, always amazed at the range of talents among working and sporting breeds, And all the rest are special to their owners, too.
