The 37th Annual Vaquero Gala, Show and Sale, honoring the culture and equine skills of the California vaquero (cowboy), will take place Nov. 12-14 at the Santa Ynez Valley Historical Museum and Parks-Janeway Carriage House (SYVHM), 3596 Sagunto St., Santa Ynez.
New for 2021 will be a pig roast and barn dance, 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Pork Palace, three miles south of Buellton at 1503 Highway 101.
The crowd, clad in their best jeans and boots, will dance to live country-Western swing music performed by yodeling cowboy Monte Mills & the Lucky Horseshoe Band. A farrier and auctioneer by trade, Mills has been instrumental in keeping traditional Western swing country music alive, introducing it to thousands each year.
Single tickets at $65 and family tickets at $125 may be purchased in advance at the Vaquero Show, online at santaynezmuseum.org, or at the door.
