Visit the Old West Society encampment located just north of the fairgrounds pond and transport yourself back to a part of history dating 1865 - 1899. Members of the Society will be setting up a cowboy camp and demonstrate what it was like living on the frontier in the 1800’s. Look inside a tent, watch cooking demos over an open fire or see a real working chuck wagon. Watch a fashion show by the ladies of the 1800’s with authentic wardrobe for that era and stay to see the exiting performances of the CanCan Girls, also known as the Diamond Dolls.
Fair visitors will be on hand to witness the robbery of the Wells Fargo shipment and the gunfight at the OK corral. Fair visitors will be able to mingle with cattlemen, lawmen, and townspeople and view the members of the Society compete in Cowboy Action Shooting using firearms typical of the era - guns, rifles, and shotguns.
The old West Society is sponsored in part by the Isanti County Historical Society.
