This night was special!


Every tourist that visit Jackson Hole, WY ends up under one of the elk horn gates to have a picture taken.  So it was with me and Grandma Zucc.  



We traveled north to this wonderful little town for a weekend get-a-way, with our friends Mike and Debbie.
We went to see the Bar J Wranglers perform.  The second night we saw The Ballad of Cat Ballou at the Jackson Hole playhouse.  Both were excellent, with the Wranglers being exceptional.  We arrived home in the mid-afternoon, got a little nap, then traveled to the Conference Center to see the Mormon Tabernacle Choir perform – guest star was Kathrine Jenkins.  So we had a busy but entertaining long weekend.  Good friends, Good food, Good entertainment!  What can be better?

Believe it or not, the character pictured below is called Very Strange.  I suppose his nose patch makes him that way, but really his stage character really set him apart from the others.      

Very Strange, indeed

We had seen the Bar J Wrangles perform several times in past years, but this night was special.  We were seated the forth table from the stage, dead center in the middle of the hall.

The performers in the mellow drama also serve at the tables, take tickets etc.  They made the experience really fun.  Oh, they also put on the 6 pm "Shootout" at the town square, only a block away from the playhouse.

Speaking of the "Shootout!"  It was really fun.  They do this every day during the summer season.  It is amazing they are still alive, but of course, they use blanks.  Ha ha.  

A real tough cowboy

Notice the water glass shaped like a cowboy boot.

One thing I enjoy in Jackson is the boardwalks that line the streets in downtown.  Within walking distance of the Saloon, I notice a fence that had been repaired with skies.  The person that owns the property must have  a very interesting and resourceful imagination.  

  

If you know me, you know that I have a curiosity, so I held my camera over this fence, and luckily got a pic of the back yard.  If this guy ever goes skiing, he will never have to rent them.  Ha ha.
