Showdown in DeKalb County Presented by the Northern Illinois Outlaws

northern Illinois OutlawsSaddle up cowpokes. Get ready to see the fastest guns in DeKalb County. Northern Illinois Outlaws is a cowboy mounted shooting club that has been performing at the Sandwich Fair since 2008.

Jr. Wranglers are selected from the audience to ride stick ponies and play "Simon Says." Then the real cowboys and cowgirls demonstrate fast shootin' and expert ridin' with a show that recreates a mounted shooting competition from the old west.

Roundup your Moms and Dads and head on over to the livestock area to see these cowboys n' cowgirls, fast horses, trick shooting and a few surprises.

Performing Saturday, Sept 8, 2:00 p.m.
