So, don't miss it this year!
Where?
Melody Ranch Motion Picture Studios, Newhall
Hey, this is the same movie ranch where cowboy greats Gary Cooper, Roy Rogers and John Wayne made movies. Sure, it's been rebuilt since the 1962 fire--but to its original glory!
Typically closed to the public except by appointment for tours, this western town comes 'alive' once a year for this incredible event. Here are some of the things you can do here:
- Eat cowboy food
- Listen to kickin' cowboy music
- Watch cowboy tricks
- Tour the Melody Ranch Movie Museum
- Buy cowboy stuff, like Deputy badges and couture
- ...And try your hand at cowboy basics
Hey, Pardner, this event may be taking place in your own backyard, but folks come from all over the country just to be a part of it. So put on your cowboy boots and come hang out!
