Goodbye to the Dance Rally

The dance rally is over, but I wanted to show what we did in addition to the theme dances. We were all divided up into 5 teams, and each team took turns making breakfast, providing snacks and entertainment for the social hour, and cleaning up.

Each morning there was a hot breakfast for all 160 participants. It's quite a job, and Phil was in charge of getting all the food, doing the menus, and sometimes supervising the cooking.


There were dance lessons during the day by Betty and Troy - beginning in the morning and intermediate in the afternoon.


There was also time during the day to sightsee. I never did get to see the wildflowers in the Hill Country, but saw some locally. Also found a great piece of "rusty stuff" on sale for $1500. Wow! I like rusty stuff alot, but not that much.


Each afternoon we had a social hour under a gigantic live oak tree.


And each team provided snacks on its work days.



Ronnie played for us in the rally hall 5 of the evenings.


One day we had a Tacky Fashion Show, entitled "What Was I Thinking??" This is just some of the participants.


On Wednesday evening, we went back to the 11th Street Cowboy Bar in town for the "Burn Your Own."


And shared a table with Rellene, Tom, Nancy and Donna.


You can buy a plate of sides to go with your steak. Too bad I didn't think of taking a picture before I ate half of it!



The Lone Star Pickerz performed, and invited the women in our group to be their backup, and named them "The Irritations."


There were a few on the dance floor not with our group. Isn't this little guy just precious? A future lady killer in the works.

  4. Tacky! I vote for the lady in the blue dress. I think the tights and hiking shoes gave her the edge.
