“Some of the visiting campers like to get involved and host a shoot and bring in something completely new and different, so no two years are exactly alike.”
LaQuita Shockley
For the adults, each day has a variety of black powder shoots that are unique to the Hugh Glass Rendezvous. Shockley says the public may come in and take part if they wish, or just safely watch from behind the shooting lines. “The shoots are determined by your type of weaponry and the target,” said Shockley. “It’s never the same each year.” Now being the chairperson for the Hugh Glass Rendezvous for over a decade, Shockley says the best part is soaking in all of the hard work. “It’s truly heartwarming to watch the interactions of everyone,” she said. “We look out for each other, aid others wherever we can, and marvel in the ‘trade negotiations’ that take place each year.” Shockley continued, “When the sun begins its descent, everyone comes together to share in a prairie-style potluck meal, followed by some moonlight prairie serenading and passing the jug with a sampling of this year’s finest ‘brew.’ It makes it all so worth it.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT FACEBOOK.COM+
