Wild Wild West Weekend Returns to Squaw Valley July 23-24

[Squaw Valley USA] July 11, 2011 –This July, Squaw Valley USA saddles up again for Wild Wild West Weekend with a host of western-themed events high in the Sierra. Wild Wild West Weekend offers adults and kids the opportunity to channel their inner-cowboys at the High Camp Corral for western-style fun. Pony rides, a petting zoo, authentic western-style barbeques, and two days of live music are all part of the western weekend July 23 through July 24, 2011.

“This year we’re excited to bring two days of live music up to High Camp as well as a new costume contest with a $50 cash prize,” said Sean Kristl, Squaw Valley’s Marketing Manager. “We hope that visitors and locals alike will kick up their boots and mosey up to High Camp for western antics in an amazing setting."
