On The Road In Sweetwater - Snakes & All!

Sweetwater! Boy do you know how to have fun! Our 3rd day On the Road took us to Newman Park - Home of the Rattle Snake Roundup! Have I mentioned I'm abnormally scared of snakes? More on that later.

Once again we had a great crowd. A lot of them came over from the pool in Newman Park that was packed when we pulled up.

I met brothers Dalton and Taylor from Sweetwater. They made me a beautiful red, white and blue bracelet. What sweet boys.

The folks from Big Boy's Bar-b-que stopped by the V.I.P Sports Getaways bus with tons of delicious ribs, chicken, sausage and brisket.

I had another great group for the Amazing Race Scavenger Hunt, but Bob's team beat us by 2 items. And Sweetwater Survivor was a photo finish! The winning time through the obstacle coarse was 8.7 seconds. The 2nd place finisher came in at 8.8 seconds!

Our live entertainment consisted of two great local groups. The Cory Bivins Band kicked things off with some great Texas country. Then Zach Harmon and the guys were back again. The dance floor was packed. I even got a two-step lesson from a sweet girl named Ashley and spun around a few times with a cute toddler named Cody!

We wrapped things up with our 10pm news. The Sweetwater Jaycees were on with their famous rattle snakes, but to keep me from running screaming to the bus, Sam did the interview about 25 yards from our set - just to be on the safe side!

Tonight we're headed to Brownwood. We're setting up at the Depot and hope to have a big crowd.

What a great week we're having!
