Helldorado 2009 was a resounding success. This year we celebrated our 80th anniversary. Tomorrows may be greater, but it can not equal the interest and the excitement of this year's celebration. With blue skies above us, green hills around us, old friends met and walked these dusty boardwalks of Tombstone. New friendships were formed and old ones renewed. All of our finery was on display for the world to see. So, forget your worries and cares and make arrangements to be with us for our 80th anniversary.
Friday started off with the National Anthem at 10:10 followed by continous entertainment every ten minutes until about 5:00pm.
Saturday was a very action packed day, starting at 10:00AM and ran to 5:00PM, with over 30 different entertainment groups from belly dancers, gunfighters, line dancers, cowboy stories, music and just plain good old fun.
Saturday night, Helldorado, Inc. once again hosted the annual Cowboy Social, where approximately 70 entertainers ate and just had a good ole time.
On Sunday, the parade kicked off at 11:00AM, with 75 entries. The now renowned Cowboy Walkdown, left 6th and Allen with about 75 participants. Boy was it a great opportunity for everyone to show their stuff for the 100's of cameras along the route.
Below are the 2008 parade winners. I will post the 2009 winners in a few days.
