Western Days 2009

Western Days started off on a soggy note. 3 inches of rain Friday. But Saturday dawned sunny and cool. We had a great time. Played games. Supper was a Dutch oven cook off. Jeanene won both catagories. Some really yummy food. Everything had to be cooked over the fire. We played music around the campfire till it got so cold our fingers wouldn't work anymore. Roasted peeps and marshmellows and had a great time sitting around the campfire.


Miss Katlin leading the games. We voted for best costume. Mary won. Played cowboy tivia and John Wayne says. That with steer roping and bull riding completed the games.
The Kat Pizz tribe camped nearby. They were a very friendly tribe lead by Chief Sitting Bull. Shown here Mighty Pancake, Limping Doe and Running Bear
