Here is the updated list of Gunfighters and Entertainers. We've had some requests to widen the scope of the list. We have included our bunnies, witches and spidermen, deservedly so. We have had requests to include ride operators (canoemen, engineers, etc.) in the Entertainer List, who were required to learn and deliver specific scripts in their in daily jobs. We understand those feelings. Right now, however, it's our thought that we need to limit the list to acknowledge those Employees who directly went out in costume onto the streets and faced Guests one-on-one, many times in harms way (physically)..... Being poked, pinched, shot, falling down (with and without weapons in their hands), getting sick in costume, carrying the show when "the show" fell apart (fellow entertainers forgetting their lines), singing and dancing in costume, performing the role of park security and handling unique emergencies, etc., etc..... We do not want to minimize the contributions that all Village Employees made to guarantee that the "show" was delivered on schedule and made the Village so special, the goal of this list is to help create a part 2 to our Marshal section of the website. Please know we are all gratified that Remembering Frontier Village has received such success and readership. Stay tuned and happy trails. Hey, and THANKS!!!!!!
