Okay, City Slickers, you had it comin'. It's time to kick it back a notch and have a hoot of a good time. Friday and Saturday evenings throughout the summer (running through Labor Day Weekend), Mountain River Ranch will be presenting a mother lode of down-home entertainment with its Wild West Shoot-Out, Horse Drawn Wagon Ride, Western Style BBQ Dinner, Musical Variety Show and more. 

Your evening begins in "Rock Bottom Springs" at 6:15 p.m. Once you're checked in and branded as part of the ranch's herd, trouble begins. Witness the good guys and the bad guys as they shoot it out on Main Street. Once the smoke clears, wagons will take you on a scenic ride to the Meadow Muffin Dinner Theatre. 

Upon arrival, feast on your choice of Mountain River Steak or BBQ chicken with baked potato salad, BBQ baked beans, corn-on-the-cob, garlic sourdough bread, dessert and lemonade. The food is unique to Mountain River Ranch and as good as it gets. Once your bellies are full, it's show time. You'll laugh, dance and sing to your heart's content. Great for dates. Great for families. And the price--$15-$29--is a bona fide steal. (Just don't tell the local sheriff.)
