11th Annual Shootout
On Saturday and Sunday, July 23 & 24 the Prescott Regulators and Their Shady Ladies will present their 11th Annual Shootout on Whiskey Row (corner of Goodwin and Montezuma Streets).
Prescott’s historic downtown comes alive with costumed re-enactors walking the street. The re-enactment competition is second to none and the 1800’s costume contest is like a step back in time.
The street is filled with booths, vendors of all things Old West; and other exhibitors and entertainers.
As part of this event, the Prescott Regulators “Long Riders” will have sponsor a ten mile trail ride from the Granite Dells trailhead into Whiskey Row in Downtown Prescott, site of the “Shootout on Whiskey Row.”
For further information, or to get involved with the trail ride, call: Liv Nilson at: 602.679.7397 or Mike Tickle at: 602.550.5629 or go to: www.prsllongriders.com
