It’s the 1st Annual Deadwood Poker Tournament Party!
For weeks, people have been pouring into the small western town of Deadwood for the biggest poker tournament this side of the Mississippi. From outlaws to marshals and saloon girls to southern belles, everyone has made this small western frontier town the place to be.
Setting: The Deadwood Saloon in the town of Deadwood in the American Wild West 1837.
Costumes: Guests come dressed as a cowboy, Indian brave/chief, sheriff, bandit, saloon girl, madam or any Wild West character. More info on costumes go to our sister website www.thecostumepartyshop.com.au
Background: We are celebrating the 5th Anniversary Poker Tournament of Deadwood.
The Story: As the festivities of the poker tournament conclude, a celebration party is planned at the Deadwood Saloon to award the prize money for the tournament and to celebrate what is hoping to be a very financially successful venture for the saloon. With a smattering of bandits, bankers, saloon girls, sheriffs, gamblers, east coast debutantes, and of course a few of the locals, this is guaranteed to make for a very interesting evening indeed..
