Main Street El Dorado's award-winning Showdown at Sunset has three performances this summer. The productions are, June 25, July 23 and Aug. 27 on the steps of the Union County Courthouse in the center of historic Union Square. In 1902 in broad daylight on the courthouse square, city Marshal Guy Tucker confronted his bitter rivals, the Parnell Brothers. In one swift moment, a flurry of gunfire left three men dead and several others wounded. Witness the historic reenactment of the infamous Parnell-Tucker gunfight three Saturdays in downtown El Dorado. The reenactment supports a cast of area actors and chronicles the events that led up to this historic event. Characters include: City Marshal Guy Tucker, grandfather to former Arkansas Governor Jim Guy Tucker; store owner Tom Parnell; brother Matt Parnell; photographer Bob Mullens; Sheriff Norris and others. This historic portrayal of life in El Dorado in the early 1900s includes live music prior to the reenactment. Musical entertainment begins at 6 p.m. with the re-enactment starting at 6:30 p.m. There are appearances by Woody & Jessie from Toy Story leading up the Showdown at Sunset performance. Group seating is available.
