"This is a very strong lineup with outstanding entertainment scheduled throughout the days and evenings," Ruidoso downs president and general manager Jeff True said. "We welcome everyone who loves the sounds and flavors of the Cowboy Symposium to make plans now for an extraordinary weekend in the fall."

New this year will be online ticket sales available at ticketstothecity.com, which will allow the public to choose their seats and print tickets. The race track box office will also be available for ticket sales at 575-378-4140.

"This is a new feature that we are offering for ticket purchasing that we hope is more convenient," True said. "Many of these events have sold-out in the past, so we encourage everyone to purchase their tickets early especially for the evening concerts."

The annual Cowboy Symposium is considered one of the top southwestern swing music festivals in the region every year.
