KANSAS COWTOWN COWBOY GATHERING

“Age of the Gunfighter weekend” at Old Cow town Museum this past weekend turned out great. The weather was hot, the food was great, and from what we saw- the local volunteers, guest re-enactors, and visitors all had a blast.

It is so wonderful getting to work with lots of other gun fighting groups. We all learn from each other like a big happy gun fighting family.

Kitt and Katt Kolt along with Miss Rose and Ringo went to the Cowboy gathering in Wichita KS> Gun fights along with our Doc (Ringo) and Kitt twirling their guns plus our Gun Safety education for the public. Our hopes in this endeavor is to save at least one life and for others to understand the importance of not handling an unattended gun.  We are supported by our great MVACA Gun Club of KCMO. Thanks to all the groups that went to Cowtown this weekend!

Many thanks to all who showed up to make this event come alive.  

 

August 30th-

Holden Parade and the Naming of our New Town-  

The name of our new town is.... SUNNY SPRINGS! We decided on this name after Sunny Spencer, father of Valerie Spencer LeMaster, father-in-law to Gary LeMaster . Sunny Spencer was a member of "The Sons of the Pioneers". So, everytime you look at our town we would like you to think of the Spencer/LeMaster family.of the Spencer/ LeMaster family. But we did NOT forget our fans

 

For those who you that don't know about Sunny Spencer, click the link below and enjoy his story. At Sunny's funeral, Rick Poe aka GW Poe, David Chastain aka Kitt Kolt and the late Alan Hilsabeck aka Sundance ( Gertrude Jenkins) were ushers.

 

As much fun as it was naming our town, then winning 1st place, the most fun and exciting thing for us was educating and swearing in all the kids.

 

Check out the Painting Downtown Harrisonville by the Old court house!

A painting done by a Civil War Artist out of Butler MO which was interested in Kitt Kolt's character-" Deputy Vern"- while he was doing Gun Safety, so he used his profile to paint on this picture which is on the SW side of the Harrisonville Court house square. Kitt is the only one with the "white" hat

Had a wonderful evening at the 7th annual Campfire and Smokehouse Cookin, hosted by Thomas Gregory and Gwy Benda .

Great Food and Great Friends plus we gave gun safety education for those in attendance. They took the oath and are now Jr. Missouri Valley Vigilantes. Our own G.W. Poe accepted recognition for all of his service to the public and community. Thank You G.W. 

 

The soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry Regiments were the first to be called "Buffalo Soldiers". According to legend, Native Americans gave the troopers that name because their fighting spirit reminded the Indian of the buffalo. The soldiers accepted it as a term of respect and honor.

 

Thank you Thomas Gregory!
