The Old West Festival is back!  Some of you may recall that we discovered the Old West Festival last fall and our kids had a blast.  It was so much fun and I definitely looked forward to it returning this year.  However, I did not expect to help promote it and now I am!  Here is the latest information for its 6th year along with some photos of our adventure last year.

  1. We have never been, but I think it would be fun to attend. I think the baseball weekend looks like a lot of fun. I’m sure Jax would like that one since he’s a huge bball fan!

  2. We haven’t been before. You find the coolest events, Tricia! We’d go during the steampunk weekend and dress up.
