Cowboy Entertainer Pop Wagener



The Kasson Public Library is proud to present for the children enrolled in their summer reading program Cowboy Entertainer Pop Wagner. Pop Wagner will perform on Wednesday, June 22 at the KM Elementary school gym at 10:30 am.

All are invited to attend this free program sponsored by Kasson area businesses and the Friends of the Kasson Library.

Pop has quite the reputation as a singer, picker, fiddler, lasso twirler, poet. He appeared quite frequently on Public Radio's A Prairie Home Companion during the show's formative years. His cowboy anthems crackle with the warmth of a prairie campfire and his old time fiddle tunes set toes a-tappin' while he serves up spellbinding rope tricks and tall stories -- all with a good dose of friendly humor.

"Pop Wagner is a mesmerizing, authentic cowboy, who possesses the unique ability to transport an audience to the simpler times of days gone by. His captivating cowboy wit, combined with his musical talents are a treat for an audience of any age. Pop Wagner is a rich historian of our culture and, as such, is truly an American treasure."
