One of our favorite shows of the year is the Alpine, Wyoming Mountain Days Show. Normally it’s held on Fathers Day, but this year it was changed to the next Thursday through Sunday. This meant that we wouldn’t have a break as the show ended on June 28th and we would have to leave for The Cody Wild West Show on June 29th.
The Alpine show had set up on Thursday Afternoon and opened on Friday at noon. Unfortunately, so did the rain. Friday is a slow day for us and this year was no exception. Usually Saturday is our big day and we were greeted with heavy rain and cold temperatures.
Wearing every layer of clothing we owned we sat in our tent and watched it pour. Free water out West, (rain), is nothing to complain about and we did have some sales but it was cold, cold, and cold!
Sunday the temp was slightly better and the rain stopped. A Native American dance group was able to perform. We both took turns watching the Dances. Our favorite was the Shawl Dance where the Women and Children twirled to display their shawls. It’s a beautiful dance filled with Color and pride.
Our sales were good as the fair weather drew people and we had a good day.
