Each cabin is hosted by a local resident dressed in period costume bringing pioneer times to life. The Oregon Trail Travelers Visit the event every year, setting up their tents and demonstrating life on the trail. Throughout the weekend, vendors sell their wares, local magicians wave their spells, musicians play and singers perform for the crowd. Always a big attraction, Sheriff Price and his deputies have shoot-outs with those pesky robbers at the Saloon in the Village several times during the weekind.
