Hosted by Katie Rae Co., Rockin' MC Leather, and Powder River Cowboy Pads, this event brings together talented makers from across the western states to Miles City, Montana. Makers can apply to teach hands-on classes or host vendor booths, while students can sign up for any of the many classes on the schedule to learn time-honored skills directly from experienced craftsmen and artists. The public is also invited to shop the vendor market and experience the creativity and heritage that continue to shape the West today.
