All the pictures here are taken from my window overlooking D Street, looking towards 4th Ave. The first one on the left was taken Friday, then Friday night and most of Saturday we had snow! The snowfall really adds to the atmosphere of a Winter Party
Saturday afternoon, D Street was blocked off and set up for "Gold Rush Day". There's the BandStand right under my window! The following pictures are of Folks having fun, kids riding tiny ponies, and Folks dancing in the street!
People having all kinds of fun, and I had fun taking pictures from 2 stories up!
Here begins the re-enactment of the showdown with Soapy Smith. The Law is to your left, Soapy stands alone to your right.
"I'm innocent" Soapy cries and fires a shot into the air. Bad Move! The Law fires back!
Another Law man bends over the fallen Soapy Smith.
The Law man has fallen too; his Comrades pick him up and carry him away
"Soapy Smith" gets up off the ground and they all take a bow!
The Fur Rondy continues till March 8. I hope to have more pictures and reports of the fun!
