What a great event!! Several brand new visitors in attendance as well as all the regular members. Lots of great food served. All the hard work that has been done to the buildings looks so great! New paint on five different buildings! New doors on the saloon! New beds in the Monarch Boarding House! Our new dining establishment is working great, even if it is not complete yet.
We had lots of folks try their hand at prospecting. The Crockett Mining company sold chances to enter one of their mines to try to locate silver ore. Once some was found, it was taken to the bank to be assayed and weighed and changed out for cash. The skinflint banker was hard to deal with, but the cash was paid.
The Outlaw Rodriguez brothers were found quickly after their short crime spree in town and were dispatched by our law officers. The Dickens family left the "holler" and came to town in force to defend the honor of Cousin Hawkeye who had gotten into trouble. Two temporary deputies had to arrest Lucky Ned after he made an appearance in town. It was quite a job and resulted in the demise of one of the brave lawmen.
If you missed this event, you missed a fun one. Make plans to keep your January schedule open. We are growing and we are having fun.
