The NewsChannel 10 summer celebration got started this week. Here is a rundown of the schedule:
Monday-7/14/08 Guymon, OK
Tuesday-7/15/08 Dumas, TX
Wednesday-7/16/08 Clovis, NM
Thursday-7/17/08 Borger, TX
Friday-7/18/08 Tulia, TX
I got to go to the one on Tuesday in Dumas. I was off and I had never been to one, so I thought, what the heck. My friend Robert Ruley rode along as we got there around 5pm or so. There was a pretty big crowd of people already there. There was free corn on a stick, fajita tacos (which I had to call them (Fujita scale tacos) along with free blue bell ice cream. Needless to say, my good eating habits got wiped out today.
There were live bands and a lot of vendors with free stuff. Speaking of bands, Doppler Dave played the drums a little, and I have to say, I was impressed! There was even an oversized dog there. You had to guess the dog's weight, and if you got the closest, you won some free snacking prizes. That's ok, just keep the snacks away from the dog! By the way, I guessed 54 lbs. but I never heard the actual weight.
All in all I had a good time except for the 1 sorry band that played there. They played music and basically groaned into the microphone. On one song, I never made out one single word in the dictionary. It was just Rahh, ooohhh, ahhhhhhhhhh, mixed with a few other caveman sounds. I hate that kind of music. Then there was a band that got up and played some Journey, which was quite good.
Below are some photos of the event:
