# Crossed Sabres Ranch
The story of Crossed Sabres Ranch begins back in 1898 when it was incorporated by Aaron “Tex” Holm as Lodge 3 of the Holm Transportation Company. Holm’s transportation business was to move people by steam-powered car from Cody, WY to the lodge, and then by carriage from the lodge to the newly formed Yellowstone National Park where his other two lodges stood.
 The original Holm Lodge was a collection of wall tents in which guests would sleep. But, as interest in the dude ranching business increased in the early 20th century, more prominent guests began to make their way westward and more sophisticated accommodations quickly followed. Six framed sleeping cottages went up in 1912 in addition to twelve, four-man tents and twelve, single-man tents bringing the total guest capacity to 200 tourists.
 Disaster struck soon after when the main building of the lodge burned down in 1914 and Tex went out of business from the new regulations allowing tourists to take private vehicles through the park. He was bought out by one of his former share-holders, J.W. “Billy” Howell. Howell’s horses carried his personal brand of the crossed sabres for the ranch. The name changed to Holm Lodge Crossed Sabres Ranch, and, not long after, simply Crossed Sabres Ranch. It became one of the original dude ranches that operated in the state of Wyoming. So began the Crossed Sabres Legacy.
 A fire burned down the main lodge in 2006, which led to the construction of the building you see today. We, Kenny and Laura Long, picked up the Crossed Sabres brand in 2013. Kenny comes from a lifetime association of training and showing horses, and as a family we come from a steeped background of dude ranching with our children. It is the invaluable time spent with family that we experienced that provides us with a steadfast commitment to provide the same experience to you and yours. The original stagecoach barn of Tex Holm’s operation still stands on the property today and we see it as a testament to the experience that can still be found here: a chance to disconnect from the hustle of daily life and embrace the beauty that exists here — the joy of simple western living. From small numbers of guests each week to family-style dinners, we seek to give you something special: the vacation of a lifetime!

# Amy Gerber
Amy recently retired from a 32-year teaching career, the last 26 of which were split between Jackson Hole and Cody, Wyoming. As an avid naturalist and conservationist, she spends a lot of time outdoors, mainly in the Greater Yellowstone Area. Currently, she works as a wildlife and nature photographer and as a guide in the Yellowstone region. Amy enthusiastically spends her new freedom out “on the road,” capturing images documenting daily wildlife encounters and adventures in the amazing wild places around us. Her passion for photography grew out of a love for wildlife.
Growing up in southwest Ohio, Amy attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio. Here, she acquired her B.A. in Zoology and a M.A.T in Secondary Science Education. She always felt compelled to teach the next generation about the natural world and spent as much time as possible taking them “into the field,” studying everything from coral reefs to leatherback sea turtles, elk and birds to grizzlies and wolves. Living in Wyoming since 1993, she was drawn to this area because it represented one of the last great wild places in the lower 48 states, including the habitat for grizzly bears. Amy is married to her amazingly supportive husband, Larry, and they have a son, Ted.

# Sitti's Table
**Porter Koury and Jake Scott**
After 5 years of private catering and community events, Jake Scott and Porter Koury’s catering business gained quite the public following which helped plant the idea of a brick in mortar that grew into Sitti’s Table–or something like that.
“We loved making whatever we were passionate about and felt like doing, always rooted in French technique but with new and different ingredients and approaches,”Jake said.
“There was a point where the idea of my grandmother’s table and the explosion of freshness in her light and healthy food made us want to share a vibrant version of that with the community,” Porter said.
The two opened Sitti’s Table (“sitti” is Lebanese for “grandmother”) in May 2022, starting with two tables and a small display refrigerator offering a few grab-and-go food and beverage options. Since then, it has become a community favorite.

# Cody Cattle Company
**Greg Pendley – Owner and Band Member Ryan Martin- Band Leader**
The band is full of renowned musicians who have certainly made a name for themselves throughout the years. You have a 3 time flat-pick guitar champion and Western Music Association Instrumentalist of the year, a musician that has played for Frank Sinatra, a keyboard player that started at the age of 4, a sax player who performed in Branson for 25 year; 5 of those with his own show, and an award winning bass player holding it all together.
 The Cody Cattle Company was started in 2008. Ryan Martin started in 2009 and has been the glue for the music ever since.
 Greg & Ann Pendley purchased the business in 2019 they used that year to learn the business, but by 2020 they knew they could add to the band and have been performing with Ryan since.
 Each of these performers is also a vocalist, so you get great harmonies on top of the fabulous music. While they pay homage to the western classics, they also sing some 50’s, 60’s and even a little taste of classic rock throughout the show. You’ll be singing along, tapping your feet and chair dancing for the entire show.
 With an all you can eat, delicious buffet to start the night, (and a full bar), followed by the great music, you have a fabulous evening waiting for you at The Cody Cattle Company.
