Westfest CropFrom 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, May 14, 2011 the City of Carlsbad Parks & Recreation department is hosting the Wild West Fest at the famous Leo Carrillo Ranch. The community event is a “re-creation of the days of the “wild west,” when cowboys ruled.” Here’s a little of what is planned for the day.

Shop at the trading post, ride the bucking bronco in the Fun Zone, and create a cowboy hat to take home. Real cowboys will demonstrate shoot outs, rope tricks and much more. Plus – pony rides! . . Enter the salsa-making contest to win prizes, or just come to taste the entries. There is no entry fee; however, pre-registration is required. Salsa tasting cards can be purchased at the event for $3 and includes a bowl of house chili.

Activity cards are required for some activities and can be purchased for $5 each. For more information follow the jump, or click here.Wildwestfest
