July 6, 2012 - This July, Squaw Valley saddles up again for Wild West Weekend with a host of western-themed events high in the Sierra. Wild West Weekend offers adults and kids the opportunity to channel their inner-cowboys at the High Camp Corral for western-style fun. Pony rides, a petting zoo, western shoot-outs, and two days of live music are all part of the western weekend on July 21 and July 22.
After last summer's hit performances, the 601 Railroad Regulators will be returning for both days of Wild West Weekend to perform Old West reenactments, quick-draw demonstrations, gun safety lessons and rowdy skits. Also expected to be big hits for families are the free face painting, petting zoo, pony rides and paintball target practice.
As it was in the Wild West, live music will be a big part of the weekend from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Pete Charles will be the confirmed act on Saturday, performing on the Wild West stage at High Camp.
Wild West lovers and families looking for a great weekend of adventure can stay at The Village at Squaw Valley and be just steps away from the action. While at the mountain, families can enjoy activities such as scenic rides on the Aerial Tram, and mountaintop swimming and roller skating - or they can enjoy a delicious meal at one of The Village's many incredible restaurants.
