Cheryl Rogers, daughter of film, television and rodeo icons Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, returns to the Allen Public Library 7:30 p.m. Friday, June 21, to present a newly released documentary on her famed father. Cheryl will also discuss the legendary Roy Roger’s life that for most Americans embodied the spirit of the American West—horsemanship, honesty, courage, and romance.
Viewing this film is a unique opportunity for Allen Public Library patrons because copyright issues require a Roy Rogers family member to be present when shown.

Cheryl serves on the Advisory Board of the Western Music Association and appeared in the History Channel’s When Cowboys Were King.  Cheryl is the author of two books, All-American Cowboy Grill, which she co-wrote with Ken Beck and Jim Clark.  It features grilling recipes from “reel and real” cowboys. Her autobiography Cowboy Princess: Life with My Parents Roy Rogers and Dale Evans tells the story of America's most famous cowboy and cowgirl.  

Accompanying Cheryl will be Brown Jug Reynolds to discuss his colorful career as a child actor and his role as Trigger’s rider. As an adult, he trained Shadowfax for the Lord of the Ring film series. Brown Jug appeared with Roy Rogers and Dale in The Yellow Rose of Texas (1944) and
Song of Arizona (1946). He also appeared with Gene Autry in The Last Round-up (1947) and
Robert Mitchum in The Red Pony (1949).  His most memorable role was as Little Beaver in the
Red Ryder film series.  Brown Jug will bring his original Red Ryder BB Gun, which is the basis of the plot in A Christmas Story (1983).

Buck Helton and The Twin Fiddles will provide Roy Rogers and Dale Evans music.
Buck is a singer, songwriter, yodeler extraordinaire and voice-over artist.  He also hosts and produces the internet radio show “Cowboy Campmeeting,” webcast on TwangtownUSA.com, and writes the "Golden Nuggets" column for The Western Way magazine. Buck has distributed ten albums.  He also coordinates the largest online Western Music and Poetry group on Facebook.  The Twin Fiddles, comprised of twin sisters Megan and Leah Bynum, have performed for the Allen Public Library’s Bluegrass concert and at Willy Nelson’s Church in Abbott, Texas.  Because they are classically trained, their fiddling has a unique, synergistic resonance with a classical touch.
