Butch Cassidy Celebration - Wyoming Territorial Prison State Historic Site

Butch Cassidy Celebration - June 8
 
The annual Butch Cassidy Celebration is a fun, family day with many activities. 
 
 A group of Bolivian Dancers performed at the celebration.  They also had some Bolivian food which was delicious.  Picture of Bill and a Bolivian Dancer.

A highlight of the day is the "Prison Escape" where two "convicts escape" and a kid posse is formed to bring the escapees back to the prison.  Bill was one of the prison guards.
 
Two 16 year old kids as the criminals
