Why does seating start 1/2 hour earlier than Show?
WE LIKE TO SEAT FOLKS EARLY BECAUSE WE OFFER POW WOW DRUMMING ON OUR HUGE POW WOW DRUM FOR ALL THE KIDS, AND INCLUDE SOME GAMES FOR THEM FOR PARTICIPATION IN OLD WEST RELATED ACTIVITIES. SINCE MANY OF THE YOUNGER KIDS MISS OUT ON OUR ADULT AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION, THIS GIVES ALL AGES A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE SOME OF THE WILD WOOLLY WEST. WE RECOMMEND YOU COME EARLY TO GET THE BEST SEATS. ALSO BEFORE ATTENDING OUR SHOWS YOU CAN CONTACT US CONCERNING THE WEATHER IN OUR AREA AND POSSIBLE CANCELLATIONS DUE TO UNSAFE CONDITIONS (RARE).

Does Gold Camp Perform Gun Firing Re-Enactment Skits?
THE GOLD CAMP 'WILD BUNCH' PERFORMS RE-ENACTMENT SCENES BASED ON MOTION PICTURE MOVIES OF THE OLD WEST DURING THE GOLD RUSH ERA. SOME SCENES REQUIRE THE USE BLANK FIRING PROP GUNS.

THE SHOW SCENE THEMES ARE CAREFULLY CHOSEN TO BE SUITABLE FOR ALL AGES. SHOWS CAN BE VERY LOUD AT TIMES AND BABIES AND TODDLERS MAY NEED SPECIAL ATTENTION DURING PUBLIC SHOWS.

Rumour has it your Wild Bunch Shows are too wild for kids or even some adults?
OUR WILD BUNCH SHOWS ARE DESIGNED TO PRESENT SATIRICAL COMEDY AND THEREFORE IF YOU HAVE STARCHED NICKERS AND CANNOT LAUGH AT LIFE, YOURSELF OR OTHERS, OUR SHOWS ARE NOT FOR YOU, OR THE FAINT OF HEART. KIDS TEND TO LOVE OUR SHOWS ALTHOUGH SOME OF OUR COMEDY IS OVER THEIR HEADS. BUT THE VISUAL EFFECTS ARE HIGHLY POPULAR WITH THE YOUNG FOLKS AND OUR SHOWS ARE MOSTLY VISUAL AND FAST MOVING AND THE AUDIENCE IS ALWAYS INCORPORATED INTO OUR THEMES. WE REQUIRE THAT ALL CHILDREN SIT WITH THEIR PARENTS OR AND APPOINTED ADULT GUARDIAN TO BE ALLOWED ATTENDANCE TO OUR SHOWS.
