BUFFALO STEW

You can purchase tickets at the Mall and Drovers for the chuck wagon feed tomorrow night at the Cow Camp. Jim says the folks from Glasco stir up a great batch of food and tomorrow night they'll be serving a hearty meal off their famous chuck wagon.

You'll get a big plate of buffalo stew, salad, biscuits, cobbler and tea or coffee for $6.50. There are 100 tickets for sale and after that the kettle will be empty. There can't be more than 98 tickets left as I bought two last night. Serving time is set at 7:00 p.m.

A hand tied quilt is being offered in a raffle as a fund raiser for the National Drovers Hall of Fame. For $5.00 you can get six tickets. I'll be hawking those so bring a fiver for the cause.

Following the feed the re-enactors will start with their tales. My friend, Renee, is coming from Sterling with her camp chair and we'll plop ourselves by the camp fire and listen as long as we can hang in. Jim says the tales get better and better and are the best in the wee hours of Saturday. I've never lasted that long. I think you have to be a real cowboy for that.

Which reminds me. If you aren't a member of the COWBOY SOCIETY it would be a great show of support if you'd join. It only costs $18.00 and some change. I'm member #1224....and very proud of it.

The Cow Camp will be an interesting place this weekend. Do stop out and show your support for all their efforts in bringing living history to Ellsworth. We're very fortunate to have this in our community....with many thanks to Linda Kohls and Jim Gray.
