Wild Bill Hickok Deals Faro in Hays

Wild Bill Hickok is in Hays for the Wild West Festival.

Well, OK, not the ORIGINAL Wild Bill.

This is actually historical re-enactor Dave Wood from Fort Morgan, Colorado.  He portrays the legendary lawman, who was elected sheriff of Ellis County in 1869.

You can meet Hickok/Wood Friday and Saturday as he deals cards at the  saloon in the Ellis County Historical Society Museum.

Special programs will be made Saturday at 1p.m. and 3p.m. in the 1879 Stone Church adjacent to the main museum building.
