This week, the Briscoe Western Art Museum is hosting a Lunch Lecture with bits and spurs specialist Kurt House on Friday February 7 from 12p.m. to 1:30p.m. He will be talking about the spur and how it evolved from a European symbol of wealth and power to an essential tool of the cowboy. Co-author of the book “Bit and Spur Makers of the Texas Tradition,” House will share stories about spur makers and how the Texas-made OK spur became one of the most sought-after pieces of cowboy equipment. House’s in-depth knowledge of spurs and bits will give everyone something to chew on during an open-lunch session where attendees can bring their lunch or grab a flavorful bite from Go’Shen Point BBQ food truck on the Briscoe’s campus. The lecture is included in museum admission. (Briscoe Western Art Museum, 2020)
