In this engaging performance by the Legendary Ladies, you'll meet:

- Mary Madeline "May" Bonfils Stanton, heiress and philanthropist, who played a key role in the success of The Denver Post alongside her sister.
- Nettie Crook, an Orphan Train rider, who shares the poignant story of her journey west and the history of the 75-year Orphan Train Movement.
- Prairie Rose Henderson, a trailblazing bronc rider and one of the first professional women athletes, whose vibrant personality made her a rodeo legend.

Dressed in authentic costumes, these portrayals bring history to life. Celebrate the courage, creativity, and spirit of these legendary women!
