Once again the Dalton Gang Hideout will be invaded by gun slinging cowboys and pretty ladies from the Reenactment Guild of America who will compete in the fourth Dalton Days competition June 26th & 27th.

The Reenactment Guild of America (RGA) is a national organization of gunfight teams and living historians dedicated to the true and accurate history of the nineteenth century. These cowboys and cowgirls spend countless hours researching and rehearsing their gunfight skits and living history presentations and are among the best in the country.

Other events to take place at Dalton Days are the parade, Dalton Fun Run for those that are fleet of foot, stick horse races and other kids games are on tap as well.

The always popular ice cream crank off is a big hit as businesses and organizations compete for the title of "champion" for the year. Each team must hand crank an original recipe to be judged by the enactors. The ice cream is then given out to the public. The winning team will take home the "Dalton Days Ice Cream Crank Off" traveling trophy. The current champs for 2008 are the Meade County EMS.

Visitors may look forward to Old West vendors, great food and good company to be had by young and old alike. There will be a chuck wagon breakfast served by Norman Dye and the Meade Methodist men both Saturday and Sunday.

On Sunday morning before the action starts we will once again offer Cowboy Church.

Dalton Days buttons will go on sale in about a month prior to the event at a cost of five dollars each and are good for both days. Buttons my be purchased at the Museum or the Dalton Hideout.

Come on down to Meade and the Dalton Gang Hideout for some rousing old west entertainment on the weekend of June 26th & 27th, 2010.
