Shows, Shows, and More Shows

I do love this town Cody. Tommy and I went uptown, walked through the shops. The custom saddle shops with hand tooled leather saddles, belts, and boots were my favorites stores. The buckles with heavily etched sliver, yes sterling sliver,  were to die for. The $7000 pair of boots weren’t shabby either! Hey Cowgirls need to look good!

The Buffalo Bill Historical Museum was next. The museum gives you a 2 day admission because it takes at least 4 days to go through. It’s huge and very well done. The museum is not all about Buffalo Bill. One portion was on nature and animals and then on to the section of Buffalo Bill. I am not sure what other sections are there since we only made it through those two. Buffalo Bill was something else. Just with the gifts he received from nobility he needed a warehouse the size of the museum to keep his things. A very interesting character and, at the time, the most famous person in the world.  The above pic is of the cast of the Wild Bill Show.

After the museum we padded down to the Irma Hotel for dinner and to see a gunfight on the street. These volunteer actors gather 6 nights a week to perform a cute little skit with guns a blazing. The crowd were booing the bad guys and cheering for the good.            The money they collect all goes to charity. What a nice thing to do. I told you I love this town. I have to show you this gorgeous original cherry bar that is in the Irma Hotel. Beautiful!

After dinner and the gunfight we ran across the street for Dan Miller’s Cowboy Music Revue. What a nice show. Dan Miller was funny, Wendy, his back up singer and bass player, well, she should have a record deal with a voice like that. His guitar and mandolin player Tim –whoa- he was good. Dan brought his daughter up to play the fiddle for a few songs. Oh yeah she has a career ahead of her and she’s only just starting the 7th grade.

What a great day here in Cody.
