Kaitlin Giles, of the TA Ranch, talked about some of the competitions being held at the event.
She added that there were other events in the afternoon, and that they would like to make this an annual festival.
The master of ceremonies, riding her black horse, Star, talked with Sheridan Media.
Along with the games was Tracked Outdoors out of Casper. Larry Rubis talked about his machines and why he came to the event, saying he had always seen the TA Ranch ads and wanted to come up and see the ranch, and decided the festival was a good time to make the trip.
The Buffalo Area Transit System ran buses from town for those wanting to ride.
In the Nordic tradition, the Big Lost Meadery from Gillette sold traditional beer and mead, a fermented honey drink that was popular in medieval times.
