it was an action packed few days. Those from small towns know that festivals center around fireworks, parades, music, food n fun. Friday night we went down to the park, cruised around and sat right on the Missouri River bank looking across to Nebraska for the fireworks ..... awesome view with a cool evening - we even had to wear jeans & jackets ! 
Saturday got up early for the parade and it had everything & everyone !!
We spent the entire day doing the do - saw one band "Brule", that played native american rock opera- it was simply amazing and nothing like we've ever heard. Loud w/ drums, electric guitar, keyboard, native drum and a modern flute played like the old indian wooden flutes. We went to see them twice.... and they had traditional dancers for several songs. Need to check their website..... and they will be having a public TV spot on Aug 31 at 8pm called Hidden Heritage.
Of course we visited the clydesdales, the antique tractors & equipment .... the whole enchilada .... or rather bratwurst, burgers & corndogs! That night we stayed for the main event - The Dweebs - a family band that was loud & fabulous !! Sat in bleachers for 1st set... then stood in front of stage for 2nd set with all the other crazy people. Music was a great mix of here n now and yesteryear.... a combo of the Village People, Janis Joplin, Kid Rock, Willie, Johnny Cash,Michael Jackson, Beatles, Alabama...... well you get the drift !!!
Let's see..... got home 11ish.... early for night owls, but a grand day out on the town for us !!! We've a few more days left to volunteer, finish up some projects and plan to leave out on Monday August 31 to head back to TX. Take our time. Oh yeah... we'll be bringing home a new 5th..... we traded in the 2000 Mirage for a 2009 Challenger by Keystone... got a heck of a deal and it is rigged for all season travel. Even has snow load roof trusses !!! Yeah... like BV is ever going to be caught in snow... let alone anything that even appears to be winter....... I'll havepics of it next blog. Until then.... see you soon !!!!
