showdown at sunset

This award-winning event was named one of the Top-100 Events in North America by the American Bus Association and received the Community Trademark Award by the Arkansas Festival & Event Association.
In 1902 in broad daylight on the courthouse square, city Marshal Guy Tucker confronted his bitter rivals, the Parnell Brothers. In one swift moment, a flurry of gunfire left three men dead and several others wounded. The re-enactment supports a cast of area actors and chronicles the events that led up to this historic event.

Characters include: City Marshal Guy Tucker, grandfather to former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker; store owner Tom Parnell; brother Matt Parnell; photographer Bob Mullens; Sheriff Norris and others. This historic portrayal of life in El Dorado in the early 1900s includes live music prior to the re-enactment.

Located in Historic Downtown El Dorado on Washington Street. (Sponsored by the South Arkansas Historical Preservation Society)
Showdown at Sunset is open to the public and no admission fee. Bring your lawn chairs!
