< Back to Event Schedule
It’s the late 1890s, and the little town of Astaire, Wyoming, ready to enter the new century as the “Paris of the Plains,” has just elected the first female sheriff west of the Mississippi! Daisy Dandelion vows to bring about law and order with just a law book and “good ol’ female common sense.” The mayor, who’s always looking at the “big picture,” and his town council are holding a hoedown in honor of Daisy, who loves to dance. But this celebration is tap-dancing with trouble! One young woman, in a burst of defiance against husbands ruling the roost, encourages the ladies to march around the barn crowing like roosters, even though they don’t have a parade permit! Next it’s revealed that Daisy is a notorious outlaw, and there’s no way to put a good spin on that! Then suddenly the infamous Bullmoose Brothers arrive on the scene. Will these yahoos looking for a showdown be out-danced by Daisy? Can the mysterious Widow Astaire shed any light on the situation? And finally, who will win the pie baking contest? Because if it’s not the mayor’s wife, he may be sleeping in the barn!
