SPOONER
RODEO
TRAIN ROBBERIES
July 10-12, 2008
The
Rawhide Renegades ride again during the Spooner Rodeo. For the past
several years a nasty gang of ruthless outlaws known as the Rawhide
Renegades has been robbing the passenger train near Spooner, Wisconsin.
It seems that these reprehensible outlaws target the crowds who have come
to town to see the renowned Spooner Rodeo. Each year ever increasing
crowds mean additional loot for the bandits and new opportunities to
kidnap unsuspecting travelers.
Your
trip aboard our Rodeo Trains begins at the civilized Spooner Depot and
then heads north into the unexplored territories. Sometime during
our hour and a half journey the train will come to a sudden stop and the
gang will come riding across the open expanses with their guns-a-blazing.
After taking time to go through the train to remove all of the valuables
Black Bud and Scandalous Sue will choose their hostages and take them off
the train. This is always a great part of the show and will surely
be a high point in any kids day. After a short ride on one of the
bandits horses, the Conductor will again yell "All Aboard" and the train
will return to Spooner. Everyone will have a rich collection of
photo memories and be a little poorer for the experience. Make sure
to bring your camera to capture all of the zany antics of the Rawhide
Renegades.

Dinner with the Outlaws
After a long day of robbing trains, the infamous
Rawhide Renegades need to relax and find some grub. Our evening train will
take you to their secret camp and you will have a chance to chat with these
modern day bandits. As the train arrives the desperados will ride up to
the train and then escort you to their campsite. The kids might even have
the chance to take a short ride on one of the bandits horses. You will be
treated to a western barbeque and maybe even some range songs around the ole'
campfire. An old fashioned marshmallow roast will complete the evening
before your ride back to civilization aboard the historic steam train.
