Saturday, July 15, 2023
Rootin' Tootin' Family Fun!
Help us celebrate a Vevay son, Ken Maynard, King of the old Westerns! Ken Maynard, born here, went on to be the best trick rider and singing cowboy in the early 1930's movies. Audiences were thrilled with his riding abilities and handsome presence, so much so he was the highest paid actor of his time.
We will have shoot-out reenactments, music, roping, movies, and visits from some of Hollywood's characters of the day. There will be a kid's Saloon, with honky tonk piano playing where families can lift their voices to song of the old west and enough sarsaparilla to quench any young cowboy's thirst!
