| '49er Days - May 9-11 |
|
Get ready folks! It's time to dust off your cowboy boots, don your favorite western hat and come on over to Winthrop 'cause we're having a rendezvous! We are having our 63rd annual '49er Days Celebration! On May 9th, 10th and 11th this little western frontier town of ours will be the place to be if you want to see horses and riders, wagon trains, mules and pack trains, cowboys and cowgirls, including ones that sing and yodel and tell stories around the campfire.
This three day festival has something for everyone. Where else can you: Welcome a whole wagon train into town? Join a knee-slapping, foot-tapping Cowboy Jamboree? See a parade with more horses and pack strings in it than you can count? See gun fighters and country dancers out on the street? Show your friends how far you can spit a gummy bear or how fast you can gobble up homemade pie without using your hands? Join in a Western auction? Enjoy an outfitter feast and a cowboy breakfast? Taste test chili in a chili cookoff? Kick up your heels at a barn dance? Find so many friendly, welcoming towns people?
Come poke around in our little western town. We're all spiffed up and waiting for you. It's an exciting time for folks here in Winthrop. We are all about opening our doors and welcoming everybody in - whether it's welcoming the arrival of the wagon train or the many visitors who come from places near and far, including over the recently re-opened North Cascades Highway.
The schedule of all the activities comprising the '49er Days Celebration is shown on the webpage dedicated to this event. Please go to the "Calendar/View all Major Events/'49er Days" page on this web site for lots more information. |
