Not Sure Where this goes: Soapy Smith's Wake

[W. Cyrus Tolman]

Over the weekend, I dragged my faro tables out to the "108th Soapy Smith Wake" held on date of Soapy's death.

This is put together by Jeff Smith (great-grandson of Soapy) whose website is www.soapysmith.net,  the "School for Scoundrels", and the Magic Castle

David Bourne played piano, and there were many reenactors there, giving the whole place a saloon-like feel.  Well that and the full bar and the fact that there were four faro tables running, and doing a fine business.  No shootings, but everyone had a great time.

Next year, on July 8th, there is sure to be another one and I am sure to be there running both my tables.
