Rendezvous Days Kickoff


So I'll start by telling you that we got our new digital SLR today and got some great pictures of the kickoff of Rendezvous Days up in Eureka, MT.

We headed out to the black powder shoot at the 69 ranch where they camp just like they did in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Tents with woodburning stoves, cooking over open fire, no poly-pro in this group, wool, cotton, canvas and leather are the main clothing textiles.

Then we went up the road to the Koocanusa Arena where they had the Rendezvous Days kickoff dinner and concert. What a blast. The food was great! BBQ brisket, coleslaw, baked beans, ... topped off with a roll. Delicious.

The music was great!!, Sarah Henderson & The Front Porch Band kicked things off followed by Kayla & Holly VanBemmel. Smash Hit Carnival was performing when we left, they are performers in every sense of the word. They change costumes to go with the band they are playing. We heard/saw them do The Cars, The Rolling Stones (and he was a dead ringer for Mick Jagger), and the Supremes just to name a few. Not to mention singing on a wireless mic while out on the dance floor. Everyone had a blast. Looks to be a GREAT weekend in Eureka. Parade is Saturday at noon. They say it's one of the largest in the state. Check it out.
