Kiwanis Auction Prize: Be a member of the Cataract Creek Gang for a day
Among the prize items available during the 71st annual Kiwanis Auction is a unique Grand Canyon western experience. The Williams-Grand Canyon News in conjunction with Courier Cares is offering a winning bidder the chance to be a member of the Cataract Creek Gang for a day.
The group acts in various shootouts in Williams and is responsible for “robbing” the passengers on their train ride back to town from a day at the Grand Canyon.
“It’s a pretty unique thing,” said Lew Rees, events and marketing director for Western News and Info. “I think that anybody who has a taste of the Old West and would have yearned to be in a John Wayne movie or a Clint Eastwood movie, they’re going to get a chance to do it all day long.”
The winning bidder will be able to go to Williams on a day chosen by the Cataract Creek Gang and the Grand Canyon Railway. They will get there by 8:30 a.m. and participate in the morning shootout, stop the train on horseback when it comes back from the Grand Canyon and rob the train and do a second shootout downtown in the evening.
The winning bidder will be provided with all the necessary western gear.
