The Wild West Show, sponsored in part by many of Golden's downtown merchants, will take place on Washington Avenue at 12th Street immediately after the conclusion of the "Best of the West" parade (around noon).

2010 marked the return to a traditional Wild West Show featuring entertaining acts representing the old west. Included will be a family friendly gun fight, Indian dancers, a Vacquero group with dancing horses accompanied by a live Mariachi Band and the return of "Pistol Packing Paula" with her gun spinning and whip cracking. There will also be a fast draw contest that any cowboy or cowgirl can enter (up to the first 20) for a fee with a prize for the winner.

The show will be narrated by Buffalo Bill (Ralph Melfi) and feature a performance by "Little Sure Shot" Annie Oakley (Barb Melfi). Don't miss this great show on Saturday, July 30, 2011 at High Noon on Washington Avenue in historic Downtown Golden.
