Joe Lester

Joe Lester is a multitalented cowboy who has graced Echoes of the Trail every year with his cowboy singing and guitar pickin'. His lovely wife, Kathy displays and sells Joe's fine hand-braided leather tack along with many other cowboy things, such as wild rags, pottery, tooled leather book covers, and more.

Joe and Kathy have taken up yet another hobby. They now have a chuck wagon and enjoy cooking and competing at gatherings. Unfortunately, there just isn't enough of them to go around, so they don't bring the wagon to Echoes.

Last year, we were surprised to find out Joe is also an auctioneer! He did a great job auctioning off the kids' winning welding art projects.

Joe and Kathy live in Kansas, Oklahoma, where they run their "Bar Broken Heart Saddlery."
