Henry Miller Wild West Weekend
II
Your
Passport to the Past
The
fun starts September 11, 2009 at the Merced County Spring Fairgrounds Los
Banos , CA and continues through the 12th. Help us celebrate 100 years of local history
& cultural diversity.
German
immigrant Henry Miller founded Los Banos in 1890; it was incorporated in 1907.
The Henry Miller Wild West Weekend is the Grand Finale to six months of celebrating
Los Banos Centennial. We also honor the legendary Captain
Charles Young and the Buffalo Soldiers
of the 10th Cavalry who stayed in Los Banos during their 16 day journey
from the Presidio of San Francisco to the Sequoia National Park in
Bakersfield.
The Wild West
Weekend is host to a Fast Draw Shootout of some sort. We're still working
on the details so do check back often. Cowboy Fast Draw
is an exciting new sport that has women and men shooting authentic .45 caliber
single action six shooters (wax bullets) at 24” round targets from a holstered
position.
