Medora Musical

Saturday night we went to the Pitchfork BBQ and Fondue for dinner. Actually, the guys took the kids while Carrie and I finished cleaning up the dust mess. Scott brought food back for us. We enjoyed an adult beverage with dinner and then headed to the amphitheatre for the Medora Musical.

This is good old fashioned clean family fun. The musical is in its 48th season. The amphitheatre is built so the backdrop is the badlands scenery. Breathtaking! They are also celebrating the 100th birthday of Harold Schafer, the guy credited with reviving the town by renovating the Rough Riders Hotel and starting the musical. His mandate was that the show be outstanding clean family entertainment that showcased 'high energy song and dance; the history of North Dakota and the Badlands; humor; American patriotism; cowboys and horses; western music; and a little bit of religion."

They also have Featured Attractions which I would call special guests. Last night our own Hip Hop dance crew from Kokomo, Indiana, Breaksk8 performed. They have been featured on America's Got Talent, America's Best Dance Crew, and Disney's Shake It Up. The girls got to meet them and get posters signed. They also met some of the cast.

Attached photos are of the Badlands (from Saturday's disasterous trip), parts of the musical, the girls with the cast, and getting posters signed by the Breaksk8 crew. Really nice guys. So great with all the kids there.
