As many of you are fellow Baby Boomers, I thought you all might be interested in this giveaway! Did you grow up watching westerns on television? I sure did! My dad was a big fan of westerns and he gave me a love of westerns also, so this genre was a part of my childhood and I still love them to this days.

I haven’t seen many of his movies, but when I was a little girl I remember seeing Rooster Cogburn in a theater with my parents. So I’d say that was my favorite.
I love their Pendleton National Park blankets! And their cookbooks! Thanks so much for sharing! My husband will be thrilled with the new hat I just ordered from JW!
I grew up on Westerns, too. True Grit with John Wayne and Kim Darby was one of the greatest movies and is my favorite.
My father is a huge John Wayne fan and I remember watching True Grit with him, and I would have to say that is my favorite.
My favorite John Wayne movie isn’t really a western. It was made in 1968, and it’s called Hellfighters. It’s about oil rigging and co-stars another one of my favorite actors, Jim Hutton. Katharine Ross is also in it. It is a really exciting and fun movie to watch. I always try to catch it whenever it’s on!
I am a big Western fan! John Wayne is the greatest and I have to say that “McLintock” is my favorite!
How fun! Yes… westerns a huge part of growing up! My Daddy took my brother and me to the rodeo because the actors from Bonanza were making an appearance. I went down and stood on the fence around the arena and was very disappointed that Little Joe didn’t ride up to me. Instead it was Hoss and he commented on liking my red Mary Jane shoes😂.
HI, Molly, that’s such a cute story! We all loved Bonanza, didn’t we? My dad loves Westerns too and I grew up watching them with him. Every Sunday night after church we watched Bonanza. Great memories!
True Grit:)
Rhoda: If you like westerns you must watch Yellowstone on the Paramount station on Wednesday nights at 10pm. It stars Kevin Costner as John Dutton who owns 1000s of acres in Montana. It is a modern day western and it is soooooo good! It’s THE best show on tv hands down. It is not on this week due to the holiday but returns next week. I know you will enjoy it. This is a new show not some sort of rerun.
HI, Deborah, I have been wanting to watch Yellowstone and didn’t realize we get the Paramount network, so I’ve just gone in and recorded it! thank you for reminding me again, I thought we didn’t get that network but we do. I’ve heard great things about it and of course, I love Kevin!
I love John Wayne and so did my mom. I love many of his movies so it is hard to pick just one but I will go with Red River. Thanks Rhoda!
Growing up I remember watching John Wayne movies and even saw True Grit on the big screen when it came out (giving away my age here a little!) My favorite John Wayne movie isn’t a western tho’; it’s “The Quiet Man”.
Wow! I love this! We are HUGE John Wayne fans! Our boys grew up watching John Wayne movies and quote certain comments like when John Wayne, as Jacob McCandles in Big Jake, responds to a comment
“I thought you’s dead” and he replies “NOT HARDLY”!
I love The Searchers with young Natalie Wood, but my most favorite is McClintock with Maureen O’Hara! She and John Wayne together, priceless!
Thanks for this fun post!
True Grit would be my favorite. I would love to surprise my husband with the gift certificate. We just visited Winterset, Iowa, birthplace of John Wayne.
When I was a kid, I remember watching True Grit with my dad. It is the best…
My Fav John Wayne movie is not really a western however set in Ireland…..The Quiet Gentleman!
Oh the Duke! My Hubby has probably seen all of his movies at least 50 times each. LOL There are so many Great movies but the ones that come to mind as my favorites are “TrueGrit”, “McLintock!” and Hatari! with Red Buttons, so good!
Thank you Rhoda for the Giveaway opportunity, it’s sure to make some John Wayne fan very happy!
Those were the days!
Favorite Movie: McClintock
I love “Quiet Man” with Maurine O’Hara! One of my all-time favorites.
True Grit, watched with my Dad!
My favorite is the The Quiet Man with Maureen O’Hara followed by The Cowboys, those little guys make me tear up every time I watch it. My DH watches quite a few western now. Some days I feel like it is 1968 and I’m spending the night at my grandparents’ house!
