The Guns of Sipokni had the pleasure and privilege of entertaining the Purcell Trailriding Club on Saturday, October 18th. The trailriders rode into town from Round Rock Ranch which is south of Sipokni West. Now, it's not for certain if the trailriders knew or not that on that trail they took they rode past some history of the era of the Great Cattle Drives. One of the major cattle drives was the Western Shawnee and one of the fingers of the Western Shawnee crossed at nearby Slippery Falls which is between Round Rock and Sipokni West. The trailriders were treated to a fine chuck which included smoked brisket, potato salad, Blue River baked beans, hot biscuits, peach cobbler, Miss Lucenda's Mexican cheesecake, and a fine relish tray. Then they were entertained with music from our own Johnny Shackleford.
Of course ya never know what's goin' happen in the old west and it just so happened that the marshal and deputy had a couple of writ's to serve on two of the notorious riders. And, those writs were indeed served.
All in all the trailriders had a good time and said the food was great! The Guns were proud to be part of this gathering on a fine fall day.
