HELLDORADO - 2007

October 19 - 21

tombstone, at

Great days came and went this past weekend.  Tomorrow may be greater, but it could not equal the interest and the excitement of the 78th annual Helldorado celebration.  With blue skies above us, green hills around us, old friends walking the streets, pageantry and entertainment on all sides, worries or cares were forgotten, headaches and ill wills vanished. 

Friday started off with the National Anthem at 10:20 and entertainment, every ten minutes, running right up until 5.00PM.  Saturday was a very packed day, starting at 10:00AM and running until 5:00PM, with over 30 different entertainment groups from belly dancers, gunfighters, line dancers, cowboy stories and song, music and just plain good old fun. 

Saturday night, Helldorado, Inc. hosted he Cowboy Social, at Tombstone Vigilante Hall, 22 E Allen St, where all the entertainers were welcomed.  A good time was had by all.

Once again, the parade stepped off at 6th and Allen on Sunday at 11:00AM and proceeded to 2nd St.  The now renowned Cowboy Walkdown, dedicated to and in memory of Paul Breuer and Beverly Hoffman, proceeded down the same route to 4th and Allen.  This was a real photo opportunity for everyone.  The day's events included stick pony races for the kindergarten, first, second and third graders from around the area, as well as the Yee Haw contest.  Of course there was street entertainment as well as gunfights all afternoon after the parade.

Gentlemen, but no ladies, turned out for the beard and mustache contest on Saturday afternoon.

The 1851 Navy Colt 44 cal Black Power Revolver was won by a lucky guest whom was still standing after three days of fun and music.

Take a look at the 2007 schedule to see what you missed, and what you can look forward to in 2008.
