One of my favourite areas in Boomtown is the Wild West, where an awful load of work must go into constructing a wonderfully detailed facsimile of a frontier town, complete with jail, bars, an old mine and station.
The district is described as “…an almighty powerhouse of thigh slapping, Stetson slinging, cider swigging sounds with the very best in folk, roots, world, hillbilly and a whole lot of Yeehaaaa!”
