My Dad wanted to give me the 30 second tour (he's done this a lot) but I was so amazed by the stuff--tons and tons of stuff--that he realized I wasn't going to be quick. Above, weather vanes.
Spinning whirligig things--all flavors.
Now we begin the country/western part with your gun equipment.
And clothes to wear while you're shooting your guns, er, participating in a tactical exercise.
My favorite picture: a cardboard John Wayne as a Green Beret next to the picture of Jesus and the Children.
Get your parachutes, tarps, Army shirts and security outfits here.
The rope room. I wanted a shot of the whole room, but darn it if people didn't need some rope and kept getting in the way. I like the rope that looked like snakeskin. If my Dad wasn't ready to take me to the next part of the tour, I might have bought some just to have around. That's in case I needed some camouflage snake rope to rustle up some snakes, or something.
Fishing pole aisle. I didn't post the gun aisle. You can imagine that one.
I started laughing when I saw this lamp--reminiscent of A Christmas Story lamp.
Horse-riding jewelry, belt buckles, lassos--this place has everything for the well-turned-out Country/Western dude person.
My Dad bought my Mom a cowboy hat last year. When I asked her if she had one when she was younger (she lived on a farm), she said "Heavens, no. I didn't want to be a cowgirl--I was a farm girl."
Horns. For what, I have no idea, but they have a wide selection. It's about here that I realize that I am completely out of my suburban element.
This is where you climb up on the wooden horses and try out your saddles. Mr. Cowboy Hat will help you, and from what I could tell, he was very knowledgeable about his products. I would definitely need his help if I ever wanted to buy a saddle.
I think these racks are just for show.
A wide mouth bass trying to catch the fake fisherman's lure. (He's up on the dressing room roof.)
I had Dad check out the Dickies attire for my photoshoot.
This boot was my favorite. If I got some of these, I could dance like these ladies:
One youngster threw a giant tantrum over the pink boots, wailing to her mother that she wanted thoooose boots. The mother, with her cow
I almost bought this for Dave. Just kidding.
For the well-turned out bridal couple: a registry.
I've got to bring my son-in-law here. He'd love it. Maybe they have gift cards?

Elizabeth, I hope you've put those boots at the very top of your Christmas list. What a great store. Yee haw!
I am laughing! Smith and Edwards is my dad's favourite place too. He buys all his pants there...and he does a fair bit of Christmas shopping there too!
