Trappers' Rendezvous
31st Trappers: January 18 - 20, 2008
Harvey County Park - West
On-line reservations coming soon.......
Following in the tradition of the mountain men and trappers of the early 1800's, Scouts and Scouters will gather Jan. 18-20, 2008 for The 31st Trappers' Rendezvous. More than 4,000 are expected for a load of the same kind of grousing and winter fun! So, make plans to meet at Harvey County Park West for this, the 31st annual event. The tradition of the rendezvous was started by General William Ashley's men of the Rocky Mountain Fur company, in 1825. Mountain man James Beckworth described the festivities as a scene of "mirth, songs, dancing, shouting, trading, running, jumping, singing, racing, target shooting, yarns, and frolic with all sorts of extravagances that mountain men, trappers, and native Americans could invent."
