Who says the West disappeared?

Families will find chuck wagon gourmets, an Old West Medicine Show, western balladeers, wagon rides, stagecoaches, rope making, Cherokee storytelling and rodeo opry at the hall of fame building along with many other hands-on activities for kids. There will also be cowboy church at 9 a.m. Sunday along with cooking demonstrations with Grady Spears, cowboy cook, restauranteur and author of A Cowboy in the Kitchen. Admission is free for children 3 and under, $6 for ages 4-12, $15 for military and students with I.D. and seniors, and $18 for adults.
