Pageantry of Old West rides again

The traveling cast of 150 brings to life the history of the West, with teams of horses and cattle, including 20 longhorns, a stagecoach robbery, dance-hall girls and a tribute to the American Indian, as well as trick roping, riding and shooting, with characters such as Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane.
Where: National Western Events Center
When: 5 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday
Cost: $14, includes grounds admission
