CHAPTER 7

Barbeque, Sarsaparilla, and Questions

The audience and other visitors explored Wildcat Crossing and enjoyed the sites and activities. Jack had pony rides set up for children. Wanda showed off her trick roping skills to the delight of a small crowd. Dapper Dallas’s voice boomed as he told stories about the Old West. Some people visited the historic museum and library.

The Aldens headed to the saloon. They had work to do.

“There’s Connie,” said Jessie. “She’s already hard at work.”

“Hey there, Aldens,” said Connie. “I’m putting barbeque beef on homemade rolls. I need someone to wrap them up, please.”

Henry and Violet washed their hands and helped wrap sandwiches into paper.

“I can run the cash register,” said Jessie.

“Thank you!” said Connie. “Nellie is busy at the souvenir shop and Bart is busy in the office.”

Jessie took money from a line of customers. Henry and Violet handed them their wrapped sandwiches.

“Benny, you can give people their drinks!” said Connie. She showed Benny the cooler and put him to work.

Benny handed each person a cold bottle of sarsaparilla from the cooler. He had fun explaining what Henry had told him about the spicy old-fashioned drink. “It’s made from sarsaparilla roots and licorice,” he explained to each customer who wondered. “It’s kind of like root beer.”
