Oregon Trail Game Live IV

Dying of dysentery* will reach new heights of fun this September when the beloved Oregon Trail computer game comes to life once again at Oregon Trail Live IV. On September 19, teams will face challenges like hunting, grave digging, caulking and floating their wagons (actually cleverly decorated take-out containers) and carrying 200 pounds of meat. Between tasks, teams and spectators can enjoy the full size covered wagon, blacksmiths working in the forge, music, food, farm animals and adult beverages in Miss Milly's Saloon, Dance Hall, Gambling Den and Arm Wrestling Emporium.
Arm wrestling optional.

IMPORTANT NOTE: No one will actually die of dysentery.

This event received the Outstanding Museum Education award from the Oregon and California Trails Association. Woo hoo!
