Families and friends can mark their calendars and gather up a posse for this one-of-a-kind Wild West event that includes a variety of things to see and do for all ages. During the two days and three nights of the fest, all who attend will enjoy various shows and activities. At the Little Hollywood Museum, attendees will meet movie and TV stars including Rudy Ramos (Yellowstone), Peter Sherayko (Tombstone), Mitch Vogel (Bonanza), Darby Hinton (Daniel Boone), Diamond Farnsworth (Young Guns), and many more.
Everyone can get into the action with Hollywood stuntman Dr. Buck, as his Wild Bunch perform their Wild West Stunt Shows. There is live music at the Gunsmoke Stage, and all the lil’ cowboys and cowgirls will enjoy a wagon load of activities in the Giddy Up Round Up Kids Korral. Participants can dress their Wild West Best for the Saturday Old and New West Costume Contest or show off their facial hair in the Beard and Moustache Fiasco.
Rare finds await all at Merchant Row with artisans and crafters. A search party can be gathered for a scavenger hunt to win prizes, and guests might even run into Hopalong Cassidy tribute artist, Joe “Hoppy” Sullivan. Attendees can mosey on over to the Parry Lodge Barn for cowboy poetry and storytelling with trail boss poet Andy Nelson. At the Kanab Center’s Grand Staircase Gym, visitors can see an amazing quilt show and pick up a new addition to their reading collection at the library book sale.
Two big and unique evening events take place at the downtown Historic Redstone Theater. These include a Thursday night screening of the classic western movie, Tombstone, with special guest actor Peter Sherayko, who played Texas Jack Vermillion. Friday night features a Wild West Fest Star Q&A panel discussion, followed by a live, on-stage, old-time radio show, Little Hollywood Rides Again!, featuring the award-winning Ricochet Radio Ranglers.
