To keep the little buckaroos busy, there will be pony rides, a petting zoo, plus games and crafts at the Kids Corral. See and meet authentically costumed cowboys, rustlers, dangerous desperadoes, salacious saloon girls, proper town ladies and courageous lawmen. Sit a spell in the shade and enjoy Old West music. Re-enactment performances will run continuously throughout the day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. A conventioneer is a SASS member who attends the event but does not participate in the regular shooting competition.
Conventioneers get to dress up in their cowboy duds and wear their firearms, same as the shooters.
They also can attend the special nighttime entertainment and participate in the fun activities in the Big Tent and Belle Union Saloon. Noted horseperson Vincent Spiaggio presented a very informative clinic for everyone interested in getting started in the exciting sport of SASS Mounted Shooting. In addition, there were blacksmith and chuckwagon cooking demonstrations along with the ever-popular Ladies Tea Tent. There will be special shooting opportunities for conventioneers, plus the Gatling Gun and other exotic old-time firearms provided by the historic Bydand Forever Scottish Highlanders reenactment group for a nominal fee on Field 1. The popular Cowboy Church service in the Belle Union Saloon is always well attended on Sunday morning.
