BISON MUSEUM TO HOST FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT "PISTOL PACKIN' PAULA"

Bison Museum and DR Buck Productions to Aide Injured Western Performer

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – The Bison Museum in North Scottsdale will play host to a fundraiser on Saturday evening, April 19th to benefit injured Western performer and World Champion Lady Six Gun Spinner, Paula Saletnik, better known as “Pistol Packin’ Paula”. Paula was severely injured in an automobile accident on January 10th of this year.

The Western themed benefit will be held from 6:00 pm to 11:00 pm at the Bison Museum located at 16641 N. 91st Street in Scottsdale, just north of West World, and will feature several Western entertainers, performers and celebrities, silent and live auctions, food, refreshments and more. Admission is $20 per person. The fundraiser is being presented by Buck Montgomery of DR Buck Productions, longtime associate and friend of “Pistol Packin’ Paula”, and by Gary Martinson, owner of Bison Museum and Bison Homes.

Paula Saletnik has been a world class Western entertainer for many years, including over 12 years at Rawhide when it was located in Scottsdale. She also was a regular performer at the famous Ponderosa Ranch, home of TV’s Bonanza.

Recent winner of the World Champion Lady Six Gun Spinner title, Paula suffered her injuries when a deer struck her vehicle while she was driving on a country road in Texas. Her injuries include fractured sternum and pelvis, several cracked ribs and three fractured vertebrae. She underwent extensive surgery on January 15th with several permanent pins being implanted. Due in part to her excellent physical condition and cowgirl spirit, Paula is expected to make a full recovery. However, that recovery will take several months, even years, of diligent therapy and hard work.

So plan on making it out to the Bison Museum on Saturday evening April 19th and help “Pistol Packin’ Paula” get back in the saddle again.
