8 Second Ride: Out in the Wild Wild Wetlands a good time only requires a sturdy mount from the Mustang Ranch and a little soft leather. She likes a man who can shoot straight and with good control in the saddle. She admits she has lost count of the number of gnawches on her belt.
Save the wetlands, ride a beaver!
Bambi the Ruffled Beaver: The Dance Creek Girl came to the Wild Wild Wetlands to seek her fortune as a mere kit and stayed to become the Brown Angel of the Creek. She studied days at the Miss Kitty Dance, Music and Water Re-routing Academy , and graduated at the top of her class, earning the prestigious “Give a Dam” award from the human Jerry Mathers, himself. BB then went on to design and build her own lodge where she performs and serves up the finest woodchips , creek water and entertainment in the west.
If crowned, she will use her talents to spread the ideals of peace,love, and of course beaver!!!
Bullseye Beaver: Bullseye Beaver hails from Durham County and learned to pick git-tar at his daddy beaver’s knee before he could even rope & ride. As soon as he was grown he lit out for the West where he found work in Beaverrace’s band in Las Vegas. After twenty years in the fast lane during which he fell prey to many of the temptations of show business, Bullseye got clean and longed to trade the dry Western plains for the cool streams and tall trees of home.
Dreaded Beaver: The tale of Dreaded Beaver is one of over coming adversity. While suffering through the years of drought here in the Piedmont her once luxurious pelt became matted and dull so to adapt she formed those knots into a pelt of beautiful dreadlocks for whichshe has come to be recognized by. Her goal now is to help all others, beaver and non beaver alike, to find their inner beauty and appriciate what makes them unique.
Scarlett O’Beavah: After years of heartbreak and disappointment caused by The War of Northern Aggression, she fled her beloved land of Tara and decided to dedicate her life to Beaver Country. By becoming the most successful Madame in all the Wetlands, her Big Beaver Brothel (BBB) keeps her in an atmosphere in whichshe has long been accustomed.”My beavers have the cleanest wetlands in the South,” is her motto. And yes, she’s the best at birth’ in beavers too!
If you are out herway, do drop by for a cold beverage. Her beautiful beavers would be oh so happy to meet you!

oh the choices are so tough. get along little beavers!
Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’.
Rawhide!
Keep rollin’, rollin’, rollin’,
Though the streams are swollen,
Keep them beavers rollin’, rawhide.
Through rain and wind and weather,
Hell bent for leather,
Wishin’ my gal was by my side.
All the things I’m missin’,
Good vittles, love, and kissin’,
Are waiting at the end of my ride.
rawhide!
What, no Justin Beaver?
Justin Beaver is a mere kit. When his castor glands mature the lodge will allow him on stage.
I’m seeing alot of bunny rabbits down there lately. Ran into Larry, AKA Larry “Larue” Crabtree recently, he tells me there is a fox hanging around. Then another bunny bolts from about five feet away, I couldn’t see his tail, but I’m thinking that might have been a beaver bunny. Who knows about the fox.
Bunnies and Beavers just sort of go together, it’s natural, I think.
It would be great to have bunnies running around everywhere, but it could be a little dangerous.
Brings me to my two questions: Will bunnies be permitted, and will dayglow orange safety vests be provided?
I think next year they’ll have to be a Hellcat Beaver because I think there’s been some straiinnnggge mixin’ goin’ on down Ellerbe Creek. But for now, I’m so glad to see such strong contestants for the title but I think 8 Second Ride’s got it all sewn up. She’s got the kind of Beaverocity that makes the creek run wide and true! You go girl!
Dont be so certain…there are assets you havent dreamed of
