BUTTE COUNTY SHERIFF�S MOUNTED POSSE
Dear Friends:
The Butte County Sheriff�s Mounted Posse cordially invites you to participate in our 54th
Annual Bandit Chase and camp out at the Posse Camp in Butte Meadows. For those of you that
haven�t participated in this event before, the weekend is planned as follows:
SATURDAY, JUNE 5, 2010
We will have an in camp treasure hunt starting on Saturday good luck on finding the loot!
Get your camp set up. Lunch will be served from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. At 1:00 p.m. be
ready to try and capture 10 Bandits that have escaped into the hills. Our Posse has put out a
reward on these desperadoes, so if you catch one you can collect $$$$$$$! We�ll supply a map
of the area they�re hiding in. The Bandits must move their hiding places every 10 minutes. The
Chase will be over by 4:30 p.m. and all bandits WILL BE CAUGHT!
The rules for catching Bandits are: you must get within 10 feet of a Bandit and tell him he�s
under arrest. (No shooting or roping from the saddle.) They will surrender their marker and take
your name so you may receive your reward later. Only one bandit per person! All participants
must leave from the staging area at the correct time (no early birds).
P.S. No bandits will be caught by the Butte County Posse members, only our guests!
Dinner will be served from 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. and rewards will be distributed during
the meal. A GREAT RAFFLE will be held as well!
If, after dinner and awards, you�re still full of energy, the Bambi Inn and the Outpost will be
presenting live music to dance, party hardy; or you can always find plenty of activity in camp.
SUNDAY, JUNE 6, 2010
8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. breakfast will be served. By 9:00 A.M. be in the saddle for a
POKER RIDE with prizes for the best hands! Last rider out by 10:00 A.M. We would ask
everyone to be moved out of camp by 2:00 p.m. so we can clean up and get home before dark!
