Blazin' M Ranch, Cottonwood, AZ

This evening we went to the Blazin' M Ranch in Cottonwood for a Cowboy Chuckwagon Supper and Cowboy Variety Show after dinner. It was a really fun and entertaining evening! When we first got there, we went in the shops on the ranch and then took a wagon ride through the ranch. Then we went in the barn for supper and the show. The dinner was chicken, ribs, roasted redskin potatoes, corn salad and baked beans with apple pie a la mode for dessert. The entertainers were excellent...they could sing, tell jokes and were excellent musicians. One guy did a screamin' version of Orange Blossom Special on his fiddle! This entire evening was so different from anything we've ever done and we would definitely return here again when we're in the area. We met John, Jane & Bonnie on the wagon ride and then they sat at our table at dinner. They are from Utah & Colorado and we really enjoyed visiting with them.
