The tradition of the rendezvous was started by General William Ashley's men of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company in 1825. Mountain man James Beckworth described the festivities as a scene of "mirth, songs, dancing, shouting, trading, running, jumping, singing, racing, target shooting, yarns, and frolic with all sorts of extravagances that mountain men, trappers, and native Americans could invent."

Following in the tradition of the mountain men and trappers of the early 1800's, Scouts and Scouters will gather Jan. 17 - 19, 2020 for the 43rd Trappers' Rendezvous. More than 6,500 are expected for a load of the same kind of grousing and winter fun! So, make plans to meet at Harvey County Park West for this, the annual event.

Scouts & Traders should…. "Be prepared"!

Old Blue Knees says, "You traders should bring yer trade goods…fur, antlers, beads, handmade items, and patches, jest to name a few. All make a great tradable!"
