Wild Wild West
A boy travels the Oregon Trail with his carrot-munching dog in search of coyotes. The dog runs off ahead and the boy meets a variety of Western pioneers (these will be played by volunteers from the audience) They will depict a gold prospector, a Native American, a fur hunter, and a pioneer farmer. In each encounter, the boy learns about the life style, foods, skills, and clothing of the people he meets.
Finally he hears his dog in the distance among the call of coyotes. When he reaches him, he finds that his dog has joined up with a pack of coyotes. He lures his dog away with a carrot.
The program ends with a film about the settlers and culture of our Old West. I will include footage from my yearly trips to Durango, Colorado.
