2023 Fables Of The West Press Release…
Get ready to ride with Slim & Curly, the biggest little cowboys on the Old West trail. If you’re coming to the fair in 2023, you’re sure to get a ‘kick’ from the Fables Of The West gang and their trusty steeds, as they head out on the trail.

Slim & Curly, often referred to as ‘the little cowboys on the little horses’, have in 24 years time, performed at over 1300 fairs and events (in their entirety) from Alaska to Florida to Texas to their home state of California. They have opened up concerts for many of the top recording artists in the business including Lonestar and Kenny Chesney, they have sang onstage with Big & Rich (‘Save A Horse’) and have appeared on The Tonight Show.

And just what is it these cowboys do? Well if you’ve been to a fair in the US in the past decade, you’ve most likely run across their path. “Its high energy and interactive, and we try to involve fair guests by literally making them the main focus of the show”, says Ken McMeans, owner and founder of the Fables team. The group is actually labeled as a ‘strolling grounds act’- never really having a specific show time nor needing (or wanting) to be on a stage (“too far away from the crowd,” says Ken). “I guess I should give some credit to the horses we ride (‘faux’ Muppet-like miniatures), though they seem to sometimes steal our thunder.”

The show is always 100% G-rated, family entertainment. Each year, Fables Of The West continues to rank as one of the most booked touring acts in North America each year and is considered by many to be one of the top grounds acts in the nation.

Ken points out that every show is different and fresh, because, after all, the majority of it is improv. “We mostly make it up as we go along.”

What We Do:
Fables Of The West is a ‘strolling interactive grounds act’, for which we guarantee a minimum of two and a half hours on the grounds daily. However, we don’t stop there. In addition to that, we welcome the opportunity to do all, or some, of the following:

Mainstage concert audience warm up/emceeing… We have opened shows for many of the nation’s major country acts including Kenny Chesney, Big & Rich, Cowboy Troy, Terri Clark, Reba, Lonestar, Diamond Rio, Rascal Flatts, Chris Le Deaux, Tracy Byrd, Mark Chesnutt, Sugarland, etc. as well as mainstream acts such as Joe Cocker, Foghat, ZZ Top, MC Hammer and Pat Benatar.
Mutton Bustin’… We haze the sheep, help the kids up (and off, if need be), keep them from crying, keep the sheep from running in to or along the fence, and inspire the kids and help boost their confidence while relinquishing the ‘fear factor.’ We try to make it fun and safe for them and not an ordeal. We also provide your guests with an outrageous ongoing visual no matter their distance from the arena. (We have also announced/emceed this event from the arena floor itself)
Calf Scramble…We will assist you and the participants (without favoritism) in the arena. All of our performers are real cowboys and know how to help and not hinder.
VIP Director’s/Sponsors meetings and/or luncheons…
School Tours…

Charity Tie-ins… (both on site and off)
Media Broadcasts/Promotions… We pride ourselves on our live TV/radio sensibilities. We promote the fair and generate excitement and enthusiasm within the community and area to help bolster attendance and revenues.
