Festival of the West at Scottsdale Arizona

We ventured out on Saturday, March 19, 2011 to Scottsdale Arizona. The annual Festival of the West show was a break from our many sightseeing tours. We enjoyed cowboy music, chuckwagon cooking and many stars from yesteryears.


Country singer Lynn Anderson appeared at the West show
and obviously a more mature star than when she first
recorded her hit I Never Promised You a Rose Garden in
October 1970. Lynn Anderson put on a great show!

The clue is on the board. Who was Clint Walker?
He starred in many movies and is especially known for 
his TV role as Cheyenne Brodie. The show lasted 8 seasons
and ended in 1964.

Clint Walker signing photos and visiting with
the admirers. He will soon be 84 and while
older looks much like he did in his younger years.

Look closely and try to remember who this actor
is You know him, really, but probably can't remember
his name. Does Carmine Orrico ring a bell? Of course
not but he started in life with that name!


One of many chuckwagons preparing their special
meals like in the old cattle drive days!

Local Cowboys/Cowgirls waiting their turn
to run the obstacle course. An enjoyable
afternoon.
