10-17 Hanging Around Belton

Bell County Exposition Center

Belton Courthouse

This morning we loaded Flo up into the car and went to town. We stopped by the Scott and White Hospice Thrift Store but it wasn't open yet so we drove towards the Bell County Expo Center. Larry had read that the Bell County Kennel Club was having a dog event this weekend. On the way we stopped in downtown Belton to walk through the Market Days which happens every third Saturday. We saw a lot of vendors selling their wares. One booth had a couple singing Gospel music to promote their church. As we were walking around we went through one of the downtown businesses. We had a very nice walk even though we didn't buy anything. When we got to the Expo Center there were a lot of R.V.s in the parking lot. The Bell County Kennel Club Event used the assembly hall, expo arena, exposition exhibit area and special events areas. It was a huge event where dogs of all breeds are showed off by their owners in different areas, conformation, obedience, rally and agility. We walked around and looked at all the gorgeous dogs. We were impress by how well behaved the dogs were and how they stood on tables and didn't move while their owners groomed them. We watched the dogs do the agility courses. We always enjoy this.

In the afternoon we hung around the house. I took a nap and Larry watched a little College football. When it was time for dinner I barbecued seasoned chicken. After dinner we went to The Home Depot to look at doors for Louise. When we got back home we watched two episodes of a new series on PBS called Indian Summers. It started three weeks ago and the last two episodes are available. There is a second series that started three weeks ago called Home Fires we'll probably watch this tomorrow. We had a very nice day.
