Saddle up, cowboy, the annual Western Days celebrations rides back into Old Town Temecula for the final day of shootouts, Western skits, a chili cookoff, stagecoach rides and saw-horse cattle-roping.
The annual celebration of Temecula's roots as a Western ranch town draws 5,000 to 7,500 Southern California residents. One of the most popular events at Western Days each year continues to be the shootout, held at "high noon" at Old Town Front and Main streets. The Old Town Temecula Gunfighters group enacts a comical bank robbery featuring dozens of bandits in a shootout with the sheriff and his posse. The gunfighters gang will also roam the streets in interactive Western skits and gunfights. Cattle-roper Jim Brooks will offer lessons in cattle-roping (with wooden saw horse calfs) from noon to 3 p.m., and free rides in a real horse-drawn stagecoach are presented from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Live Western music is also on tap. The Cross Town Cowboys performs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Front Street and the Judy Taylor Trio performs from 12:30 to 3 p.m. at Town Square. The annual Old Town Temecula Regional Chili Cookoff will be held from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m.
This year's event (for red and green chili recipes) draws teams from throughout the region, since it's a qualifying event for the International Chili Society's national contest; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Old Town Front Street, Temecula
