Showdown at 3R Ranch
Program Overview

The Story
Our story opens in Dodge Ball City, where Sheriff Carrie Gooper is faced with a problem. The notorious Zach, leader of the Bac Pac, has challenged Sheriff Carrie Gooper to a showdown at high noon! But that's not all - it seems there is too much trash on the range. Could they be linked?

Carrie enlists the help of her friends to get to the bottom of the litter dilemma and assist her with Zach.They tell her about the importance of reducing, reusing, and recycling, but no one wants to help her deal with Zach. So she takes it upon herself to meet Zach alone.

After a nerve-racking introduction, Zach informs Carrie that the environment is a delicate thing and how composting our organic waste can help it. After helping Carrie learn about the things that we can compost, Zach appoints Carrie as an official environmental deputy, and peace and order are restored in Dodge Ball City.
