Cowboy Bruce Brannen will bring his 2B Ranch Wild West Show to Pioneer Days at the Pioneer Museum of Alabama Friday and Saturday.

Kari Barley, museum director, said Brannen’s Wild West Show is a favorite of the children and just about as popular with adults.

“Cowboy Bruce and his wife and sidekick, Vernie, always thrill their audiences with their show,” Barley said. “They pull out a page of history and take the audience back to the early years of America’s Western Expansion. Cowboy Bruce uses stories and poems in his act and Vernie joins him for exciting demonstrations of cowboy arts that are almost extinct.”

Barley said the Wild West Show gives the audience a glimpse of the way life was back in the days of the big western cattle drives.

“It’s a show that you won’t want to miss if you have an interest in the Old West,” she said.

The 2B Ranch Wild West Show will perform at 10 and 11 a.m. and at noon on Friday, which is student day, and at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Wild West Show is included in the admission price of $6. Children under five are admitted free.

Pioneer Days will also feature Davy Crockett, a Civil War re-enactment campsite, Dutch oven cooking, demonstrations of old-time crafts and skills, preaching and singing in the Log Church and lessons in reading, ‘riting and ‘rithmetic by a school marm in the Little Red Schoolhouse. Samples of cornbread cooked on a wood stove and buttermilk, fresh churned will be available in the Demonstration Cabin.

Joe Todd will be grinding cane and selling his kettle-made sugar cane syrup. The museum gift shop will be open and the picnic area will be available.

“Pioneer Days will have a lot to do and a lot to see so we invite everyone to come out to the Pioneer Museum of Alabama Friday and Saturday for a trip back in time,” Barley said.
