Description

Tales & Tunes of the American West--From the hilarious tall tale of "Old Sally Cato," who bests the giant Billy Bally Bully with her feather duster and no help from her boys L'il Jack and Big Tom, to American folk songs of miners, '49s, Sweet Betsy and more, this show turns you into a Conestoga traveler. Learn about the setting of the West, when they burned buffalo chips to keep warm and made houses out of dirt. Yep, they was tough and turrible times, but this educational and entertaining show is near nothin' but fun. I won't forgit the fiddle or limberjack puppets. Kids as usual get lots to do, even a play party type game about the rivers of Texas. Celebrate the people and the land.
