Events like these are a great time to experience Cowtown. Volunteer re-enactors come out and make the town really come alive, and there’s always activity happening somewhere.

If you get hungry or thirsty, rustle up some grub (hot dogs) and sarsaparilla in the saloon, and don’t forget to take lots of selfies in front of the wanted posters tacked up to fences around town. 🙂
