Read moreVisitors were greeted with sunny skies last Saturday for the annual Chuck Wagon Gathering hosted by The Chisholm in Kingfisher. Pictured are artist Debby Kaspari (left photo) and musicians Wayne and Brenda Cantwell. Those were just two of the many attractions at the annual event this year, one that continues to grow and add activities each year. “It was a little breezy, but much warmer than last year,” said Museum Executive Director Jason Harris. “All of the new activities were a hit and we already have plans to add additional items next year. Everyone who attended seemed to enjoy themselves.” To help with the flow of the crowd, organizers shut down Zellers Avenue, which runs between the museum and the mansion. Overflow parking was provided at Kingfisher High School. The school district provided a shuttle service for patrons from the school to the event. “Closing the road between the museum and mansion allowed for better flow between the two and made the event feel less crowded,” Harris said. “I spoke with a number of people who took the shuttles from the school and they said the KPS school staff were fantastic and it was a great option for those unable to walk from blocks away.” [KT&FP Staff Photos By Cati Killman]
