The Old West Festival wants children from age 2 to 92 to have the time of their lives as they step back in to the 19th Century. Children can ride our steam locomotive inspired train, the ponies or in a covered wagon. Children's games, panning for gold, face painting and a playset are also just what the Doc (Holiday) ordered!
