Coyote Sam Set For Sonora Visit

Sonora, CA -- Gun shots will be heard today around the noon hour in downtown Sonora thanks to Coyote Sam's annual visit.

It's a throwback to the gold mining days and it's a bit of a prelude to the 50th Annual Mother Lode Roundup coming Mothers' Day Weekend.

General Chairman Al O'Brien says Coyote Sam's granddad started the annual shoot 'em up in the historic downtown area around 30-40 years ago.

O'Brien adds that this bunch of unsavory characters generally ride through town attempting to kiss all the girls. He adds it's pretty obvious that all of them need a good hot shower and some serious dental work. In addition, all their horses need a bath. But as O'Brien stated, "We put up with them even though they're always trying to disrupt our sponsors' luncheon."

Coyote Sam and his sidekicks are scheduled to make their appearance in the neighborhood of Diamondback Grill and Alfredo's during the noon hour with their six shooters blazing.
