our evening

Last evening started with a "pitchfork steak fondue" dinner.  They put several rib-eye steaks on pitchfork tines and then dip them in vats of oil for deep frying.  My steak was delicious.  Instead of a steak Jo had a cowboy buffet with bison roast as her entree.  These two pictures show the fondue process.

 

In the same location was the "Medora Musical" amphitheater where we enjoyed the show.  The group of singers/dancers were great as was the band.  The ridge of badlands behind the stage was also a part of the show.  As we were walking to our seats we saw a couple of elk  on that ridge.  A little before the show started a cowboy on horseback herded those elk down the ridge and out of sight.  As the show started a group of cowboys on horseback escorted the hostess of the show on to the stage.  Later in the show they enacted a battle and those same cowboys were Teddy's Rough Riders in the battle.  After a mid-show intermission they had a stand up comic but neither Jo nor myself care much for that kind of entertainment.  We much prefer the singing and dancing.  At the end of the show during the finale the hills behind the stage were illuminated with the colors of the American flag.
