The Town is small but has many craft shops, featuring native jewelry, knives, katchina dolls and so much more: I bought myself a beautiful folded steel knife with wood handle and a leather belt sheaf, it has great balance besides being a work of art. We strolled around in the light rain, went to look at the rustic wedding chapel - closed, so couldn't see i side - took the photo coming out of the salloon, and the headed over to Hansen's BBQ for a cold one. We got our drinks and sat at one of the high tops sipping our drinks and looking forward to some live music. Cody Gibson had been up on stage for a while when I went to ask him for a fave tune: the Streets of Laredo. He listened to it and then played it for me ! All was going so well then a sudden "Craaack" and a splitting sound: the transformer down the road died, so the Town and restaurants closed... We couldn't stay to eat so can't comment on value or taste. Thank you Cody for your lovely music, and Frontier Town for showcasing your art and charm. We'll be back to taste your food !
