Wild West Shoot-Out

We stayed overnight in Williams and rode the Grand Canyon Railway to the National Park.

Fifteen minutes before boarding, we were treated to a Wild West Shoot Out skit. This here is Buck an old train robber (among other bad guy roles of bank robbing and cheating). 

Turns out, cheating in poker amongst other bandits, isn't such a great idea...

The sheriff showed up and asked some questions and tried to solve the case. Since the skit was put on by only 4 guys, the sheriff told Buck to stand up and play some other bandit. Poor old Buck had been laying on that freezing cold sidewalk and had to drag himself up and play another "bad guy"!! The sheriff wanted to know who was responsible for a recent train robbery and when the other bandits said his name, the sheriff shot him down.

BUT, this is the third time he got shot down, because all of our attention was elsewhere when the sheriff shot him. So, the sheriff told him to get up and redo the last few lines so that some lady in the audience (was that me or the other gal sitting there?!?!) could get the shot as she wasn't paying attention. So, they redid part of the scene and I got the shot of the shot!

It was fun. We enjoyed our comedic entertainment and the girls' fear of the train robbers started to go away.  But, they still wanted to know if they were real robbers or not!!
