Contraptions Come To Sipokni West

This past Saturday, the townsfolk of Sipokni West got quite a surprise when a herd of whangy dang contraptions came rolling into town. One after another, they just kept puttering along Front Street and then came to a stop at the Cattle Drive Saloon.

Elwood was the first to spot the contraptions that moved on their own without a horse! Elwood went running down Front Street hollering for Pearly Sue to fetch his shotgun.

As a crowd grew in the middle of the street one resident suggested that these whangy dangs were the horseless carriages we'd heard of for some time now. They say these things are popular back east but here at Sipokni we still favor the horse and wagon.

Good thing Marshall Stout and Mayor Johnny were on hand to get the crowd under control. Turns out that this group of guys and gals had been to Sipokni before and are simply antique car buffs.







The antique car guys and gals hung around town for awhile and had lunch at the Cowboy Cafe before getting back in their whangy dangs and taking off again.

As always, it was good seeing them again and hope to see them next year.
