OLD BUSINESS:

• Jody Greenslade and Derk Hansen were here to represent the Wild West Roundup.
  

• Hud opened the meeting with the treasury report.
  

• The next item of business was a continuing conversation about ammunition for the club events.  Derk shared some information with the group about various suppliers and types of ammunition.   Hud will look into this with more detail and present to the group at a later date.
  

• A brief discussion about fees and contracts for performances was conducted.  No changes were detailed in the discussion.
  

Safety Report:

• Safety was reviewed for the Waseca event in light of the fantastic cold we experienced this year.
  

NEW BUSINESS:

• Derk and Jody presented information regarding the “The Great American Wild West Round up” scheduled for June 7-8, 2008. They have planned several events this year and it looks to be a pretty good couple days of old west fun.  Information can be found on their website at www.wildwestroundup.com.
  

Special Thanks from the Wild West Roundup crew:

We would like to thank the Cannon Old West Society for their continued support of the Wild West Roundup.  Without your involvement, the Roundup would not be the Great American Historical event that it is today.

A special THANKS to those of you that participated (and won) in the Wild West Roundup 1st Annual Reenactment Competition.

We are already looking forward to the 2008 competition. 

Reenactment Competition Awards in 2008:

Best Overall Reenactment $300

Best Individual Stunt $100

Best Actor/Actress $100

This year we will have an appreciation meal at the chuckwagon on Friday night for all volunteers.  Please call or email us if you are planning to set up camp and/or help out with the event.  We have set aside two times for scenarios on Saturday and Sunday (11am + 2pm), and we can use all the help we can get!  Thanks from the bottom of our hearts!

City of Dundas and the Roundup Combine Efforts:

The Roundup will have living history activities, exciting action packed old west re-enactments & competition, fast draw contest, a ranch rodeo, fiddle contest, country & bluegrass musicians, dutch oven cook-off, and demonstrations of everyday life on the frontier. The City of Dundas will have an old-fashioned baseball game, an artisan’s fair, games and crafts for the kids, a horse and carriage contest, and live music Saturday evening.  We will have horse drawn people movers traveling between downtown Dundas and the Roundup grounds.

Don't miss out on the excitement!
