WESTFEST PARADE

First 4 pictures were taken Thursday before Westfest. Second set of 4 pictures are taken Saturday morning right after the parade. We'll have the final count in the Wed. paper.
Czech Point sign is on the way to Wolf's...which is on the end of the corner...I went in said howdy to Devin and Inky and drank a bottle of water and went home to rest. Never went to Westfest Saturday. But did bake a lemon meringue pie for Raelene who works at Tokio Store and a coconut cake for Lora Lee, my nephew's wife.
I took it out to Tokio which is in the middle of BFE and got lost, drove damn near to Rogers Hill before I figured it out. Finally find the damn place and I walk in and stumble and nearly fall into the door. Bimbo was there and laughed his ass off at me. Only sober one there and damn near fall on my face. Raelene wasn't there so her daughter put it in the refrigerator for her. Sat down with Bimbo to have some water and this weirdo was dancing to the band at the table, pretending to play the piano on the table, jumping around and just acting like a man possessed. I leaned over to Bimbo and said Perky little mother fucker ain't he?..I finished my water and got out of Tokio. Stood on the porch where some guys were sitting on the porch swing and said 'now I remember why I quit drinking.'...but it was a beautiful evening..cool cool breeze and every thing smelled like new cut, hay and grass. Went home and then made the coconut cake. I'm too old for this shit. Click on the pictures and they will enlarge..Took 2 good pictures of Devin on the football float.
Sam's Barber Shop is sort of West, Texas's version of Mayberry's Floyd the Barber. 'Cept Sam still has his Elvis hair style.
Also took a couple of pictures of Old Corner Drug and personal. The blurry one is my go to guy Kirk.
Ok..I'm ready for another nap. Still have the Westfest pictures to put up and figure out how to download the video cam. If that works and they came out..I got some great video.

WESTFEST PARADE PICTURES

Me fixing the sheet over the hay bale.


One of two signs I made for the truck. I tried to tell Mary, that just because I have arts and crafts stuff, doesn't make me crafty.
Me with Brice, Boyd and Mary M. Don't I look thrilled?

The SPJST float. I have no clue what the letters stand for. But it's some Czech organization.
This was my favorite float. Referred to as the Bohemian mobule home..(it's an outhouse)..I told them I loved their float just because it pissed off that one lady who would write a letter to the editor of the paper every year to complain how insulting it was to Bohemians. They appreciated my sentiments.
That's Czech for something..haha
Think it means welcome to the Westfest..
I can't remember this womans name to save my soul. She and her daughter are the two bartenders at Strickly Country. They filled the ballons to full and when it got hotter they were blowing up and would make me jump every time. This float won 3rd place in the commercial float division.
Me and what's her name.

Vicki liked the Pipe Players attire.
