The City of Mission Shows Its Appreciation

Saturday was a warm and sunny day, and an almost perfect day for the city of Mission, Texas to host its annual "Winter Texan Fiesta".  We decided to give it a look, and went with the Smokers.

The Fiesta was held at the Mission Event Center and we had to pick up our free tickets in advance and in person.  To watch the afternoon entertainment people were advised to bring their own lawn chairs.

An outdoor stage was set up to accommodate the musicians.  The city mayor gave a small talk at the start of the afternoon entertainment to welcome everyone, and thank us for coming to southern Texas in the Winter. (and spending our money -we might add)

 Each musical act had only about 30-45 minutes to perform.  Above is Rusty Rierson from Kansas.  He played good music and told some great stories as well.

Not only did we get a free lunch provided by Chick-fil-A, but every attendee received a free Tee shirt like you see above.  That is Tom Landry, el Coach, on the shirt who was the Dallas Cowboy's coach and a local legend.
