NOTE:  A visit to "Dry Gulch" equals a lasting childhood memory... In a world
that is often filled with bad memories, it is incumbent upon the moms, and teachers
to help make this enchanting experience, one of the fond memories for kids!
Whatever you do (regarding a visit to Dry Gulch), BE FRIENDLY....
OR Get Written Up In Sheriff Bill's BLOG!  
Just like some of the following :

Yuppette's...
Some Yuppie Moms, who couldn't get their kids in at the front gate, due
to a previously scheduled event, began yelling,  screaming, and acting
like morons. It  made for an embarrassing situation, and sent their little
ones into tears.  Shame on them! The squeaky wheel never gets the
grease here in the Town Of Dry Gulch!  Every event is pre-scheduled
for a designated block of PRIVATE time.
You must follow one simple rule here...Enter smiling, and depart with
Hugs or Handshakes. Note: this is a credo taken from the kids
themselves!

Another Mom...
This Mom was also insistent on getting her kids into the Gem Mine.  
When we called her back to confirm the booking arrangements, we got
a lecture on calling her at a decent hour, and not in the middle of the
night...Gheeesh  It was only 9:00pm!  Please Moms, we do our best to
return 'all' calls between 6:30pm and 9:30pm (and we have ton's of
them to make every evening !)

United Way Day Care Teacher...
(The most absurd display of  immaturity from a teacher.)  
Having scheduled a Field Trip for 'inner city' children from Erie,  a
"United Way" Teacher had a meltdown with the children.  These lil'
munchkins had never even been in the country, let alone explored a
"Gem Mine'. They were inquisitive and carefree as kids should be.  But
before the event was over, and not even a single game had been
played, the teacher grabbed a tiny girl by the arm, and violently jerked
her from the small group of twelve classmates.  She curtly announced
that the little girl just wasn't behaving and they were going to leave.  
Other kids saw the teacher tantrum and began to cry.  They wanted to
stay for the games and prizes, but the two hour block of time was just
too much for the pitiful teacher.
Here's the rule Miss Teach:  If you can't handle twelve children for two
hours, you might want to re-think your career choice, as there are an
abundance of jobs open in the fast food industry!
P.S.   She also had teachers aids to assist her!
Sheriff Bill Says:
"I am always so
touched by the
hundreds of
Thank You Cards
& Photos from
the children of
schools,
organizations,
and private
groups.
I read and
treasure each
and every
one!"
