Mountain Man Surprise Birthday Party

A girl I know accomplished an amazing feat—she put on a surprise themed Mountain Man party for her husband in her home! (I'm not talking about me.) She used cash and was able to hide the decorations and evidence of food preparations from him. Isn't that amazing!?

She borrowed a few animals for the walls, found animal figurines at the secondhand store, and purchased cheap plaid to create a fun backdrop for photos. I'm withholding some photos here (okay, I'll show one at the end)—but you can imagine some of the pictures we got after most of the group left.
Around the room you could find mountain men photos like this. She just searched the internet for the images.
Of course prizes HAD to be deer and moose droppings (peanut chocolate clusters).
She served cornbread in a skillet and soda in old fashioned bottles.
Chili was on the menu, with some trail mix and berries.
I hope you consider throwing a party like this. It was a total hit. 
Okay, okay…I'll show a little teaser of the photoshoot. I begged my hubby to put on my costume vest. This is what he did, and then I couldn't help it, I later added Dr. Pepper to the image. There are about a thousand great captions for that photo….
