Parade Party

Another small town thing we do here in Mabank is "Western Week".  It all revolves around the yearly rodeo, with food, games, bed races, queens to be crowned, and of course the main event the three night rodeo, ending with a dance.  It used to be a street dance, but since building the new pavilion...it has since been held there, with some still preferring the nostalgia  of the street dance.  As a kid,  I wasn't encouraged to attend such a thing, lol.







 Here it comes~!!!!




 Sisters and long~time cowgirls...



Do y'all see Grace Ann?


 Don't you just love have traditions begin?....


 Roni~Roni and Doodles enjoyed it, along with some of my great nieces and nephews!




 Uncle Sam and Besty Ross rode...



A party unplanned is sometimes the best party of all...Many stayed late and played 42.










We happen to live on the parade route!  About 10:00 A. M., I thought what about a parade party!!! And a great tradition was born... with family and friends, especially the new grands. 





Sandwiches, Sundaes, and Chocolate pie following the parade!
