Some expressions suggestive of the Old West:
blazing a trail
passel of outlaw trouble
searing desert
swollen rivers

Some cowboy legends:
Wyatt Earp, John Charles Fremont, Annie Oakley Westward Expansion, or more specifically, our 7th grade field day, Wild West Day. Students play games entitled:
Pony Express Relay, Tee-Pee Relay, Cactus Lasso, Cabin Frisbee toss, Wagon train relay, horseshoe toss, cow chip challenge, tumble weed challenge, tug-a-war, and spirit pole race.
Each teacher has a name tied with the theme. For example, mine is Wiwi’s Wranglers (Contributed by wiwil in Florida)
