Wild Wild West: 2008 NORA Closing Party (Sponsorships Available)

NORA’s Closing Event is a trip back in time…using jeeps as our steady steeds, we’ll take you on a trip to an old desert mining camp. The mining camp is a historically authentic replica of the Wild West mining camps that sprang up in the 1800s. You’ll ride through the canyons along the eerie San Andreas Fault, try your hand in the shooting gallery, rope yourself a straw cow, or just relax by the campfire to the live music.

You can also meander through the town and enjoy the colorful local history and legends of a rowdy by-gone era when settlers came here in search of freedom and fortune. Kick up your heels on the dance floor, walk-up to the bar in the saloon, tour antique wagons, hotel, bank, stable, and even the jail, but we’ll try to avoid going there. Finally, take a tour through a recreated gold mine with old mining equipment and historical photos. You may not strike gold, or even oil, but this watering hole is a night not to miss!
