This small but popular wild west town has seveal unofficial connections to SDC. First of all you can still ride SDC's stagecoach becouse one of them is there. You can see it on there website.(Another ended up at the Ralph Foster Museum at Collage of the Ozarks).
The second remnent is the Magirk Brothers street shows started by Rawhides first entertainment dept which was made up of Keith Scarborough, former hatfield boy and Mark Twain Impersonater at SDC, Jeff Kimes the Hatfield Haint Show boy, John Corbin Goldsberry, former hammered dulcimer player and comedian, and Joe Jokabyte, aka Deputy DooDa all four who left the city in the mid 80s for that purpose. They were latter joined by Hellin Kimes, Jeffs wife ,saloon girl and choriographer, and Ed Marshal, rainmaker and Mad Dog Mcoy. John, Helen, and Ed returned to SDC where Helen remairied another SDC Entertainer and Writer. Several other SDC acts visited during the winter months which is Rawhides peak season and SDC was closed.
Origanaly a star attraction, the current Magirk shows are pale to the origanal cast's and have degenerated into more of a commercial Arrest a Guest crew.
They do have decent stunt shows and an amazing can't loose casino dealer show, as well as some fun variety acts.
The park was recently sold and moved to the Indian reservation south of Phoenix. (the Indians bought out the Cowboys!)
