Bell Buckle Parks Rally

On the Fourth of July I ran the Bell Buckle Parks Rally. I took along several friends so I had to drive my GMC Suburban. We entered int he "Car Load" class. I asked if they had a prize for the most people in a car.

We had fun running the rally as usual and ended up with our mileage score being only .01 off the correct number. That tied us for first overall and we won the car load class.

After the rally we were treated to grilled hamburgers and hot dogs provided by the town of Bell Buckle. There were also lots of home made side dishes and deserts to go with the meal.

After the score were announced, we had another treat!

The Bell Buckle thespians took a break from their presentation of a Mid Summer nights dream to present a spoof about RC and Moon Pie's romance called a Mid Summer Nightmare.

The play was very funny and very well presented. Thanks to all who worked to do that show.

Once again July 4th in Bell Buckle was huge fun!
