"Lets us take you into this colorful past with legendary, historical, and humorous re-enactments. We portray this era with a mixture of comedy and melodrama to entertain as well as educate spectators at all of our events. Firearms safety is an important part of our portrayals and is demonstrated at all events. We are family-oriented and with no bad language or blood."

Following our step back in time, welcome The Baker Family, a high-energy bluegrass band from south-central Missouri who is sure to get you tapping along to the beat! As a band full of skill and raw talent, they are a must-see!
