Benefits Of A Benefit

The Guns of Sipokni saddled up and rode into Ravia last night to give a hand in benefit festivities for William Small. It seems that William is quite the gifted lad and has been selected for a special Leadership School. Of course his selection is quite an honor but a fellar has to have some pocket money to take with him on such an adventure so William's mom, dad, friends, and the citizens of Ravia got together to raise some walking around money for William. The Guns were delighted in being invited and provided the entertainment.


William, along with his dad John are pictured in the center. John is quite the western writer and he too has reenacting and acting experience at Sipokni West Old West Movie Set.



Upon arriving at the corral the Guns ran into an old sidekick in state representative Paul Roan. Paul just seems to fit in with the rest of us outlaws and if you didn't know he also has acting experience playing an old west part at Sipokni West.

The Guns performed Even Steven which is a funny, funny skit about some bumbling and not too trustworthy outlaws trying to get off with the town's money. Playing in this skit was John Howard, Tammie Howard, Sherrie Adams, Coyote Carol Radford, Sassy Cheryl Parker, Susan Parker Howell, Jack Howell, Jerry Stout, Joe Stout, Larry Randolph,and Gonzales the crazy Mexican bandito.


The gang ends up killing each other off one by one thinking they'll be the one to get off with all the money but as they discover the Marshal was telling them the truth all the long when he told them he had nothing but a bag full of ammunition.


Gonzales and his craziness could only go on so much and Senor' Pete took him out.


The Guns are a colorful and wonderfully talented group and with our latest additions such as John Howard we only see our skits getting better and better.

And a wonderful surprise for the Guns was seeing Ron Asbury, one of our original members whose been missing in action for quite some time. Ron has been nursing himself back to good health, looks great, and is going to get back in the gunslinging business soon.



Upon the great idea of Miss Tammie the Guns then rode to Fish Tales in Tishomingo and enjoyed a wonderful chuck together.


The Guns will be performing next on June 13th at 5 p.m. at Sipokni West Old West Movie Set.
