This year’s edition of the two-day event, which takes over Rawhide Western Town in Chandler, will take place on Saturday and Sunday, September 28 and 29. Caren West PR an award-winning public relations firm specializing in lifestyle, events, food, fashion, music & more is giving their full service to this huge event. What makes the venue perfect for this shindig is its realistic, old western town setting, complete with a saloon, a general store, and a town jail. You and your gang of outlaws will find plenty to do and explore in this lawless land. Get to the festival early to stop by the shooting gallery and practice being the town sheriff, giddy up on one of the many western-inspired rides, swing your partner ‘round and ‘round at the town’s honky tonk, and of course, try your hand at gold panning!
