The Old West is etched in our history like a pocket-knife carving on a mesquite tree. We’ve held tight to our past. It’s what makes this area so likeable.
Every year, Western Week restokes the embers of our rich heritage and ensures our western legacy glows as brightly as it did a century ago.
All are welcome to experience what can only be described as one “heck of a good time” – parades, the Hashknife Pony Express, Native American festivals, gold mining, live music, and museum exhibits.
