2007 Freedom, OK Rodeo

It was a great weekend for the Freedom, Oklahoma Rodeo & Old Cowhand Reunion in Northwest Oklahoma. It cooled down quite a bit for the last night of the rodeo, Saturday night.

Temperatures dropped 20 degrees and the skies were cloudy with only a few sprinkles now and then, BUT... the rodeo went on into the late night hours.

On Saturday afternoon, onlookers gathered on the Main Street of Freedom, Oklahoma, USA, around 2:30 p.m. You could feel the old west melodrama unfolding as the town people, clad in their western attire, were strolling along Main street going about their daily chores, business.

The music playing in the background brought you, as an onlooker, into the drama that was about to burst into a bank robbery & gun fire.

The Cobb gang rode into town and started harassing the town folks. Then before you knew what hit you, the gang decided to rob the local bank.

BUT... It wasn't long before the Marshall and his posse returned to town when the melodrama really heated up on Freedom's Main Street. What followed was a blood bath between the bank robbers, the Marshall and posse.

It never fails, each year the local banker always seems to step in at the last minute and save the day by sneaking up and gunning down the last of the Cobb gang. With one shot from the banker the bad guy makes a splash backwards into the horse tank situated in the middle of the street. Our Hero! The Banker?

If we can get the Freedom movie file trimmed down, compacted, we will be sticking the Freedom melodrama movie files on our OkieLegacy - YouTube Site for those who might be interested.

Meanwhile... enjoy the Freedom, OK Melodrama Cast of Characters for this years melodrama on the Main Street of Freedom, Oklahoma, USA.   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
