2019-02-10 TRR Goliad Rally

This is my second Texas Ramblin' Roses Rally here at Goliad State Park. Now the picture below is not Goliad State Park as all the sites there were full up well in advance.  So we found a backup solution by staying at the Angels in Goliad RV Park. It is a nice park that honors Passport America. They have full hookups as well as cable and wifi but no restrooms or amenities like a pool or hot tub. So you really do have to be self-contained.

Not having a pool or even a hot tub was not a problem this time as the bottom dropped out of the thermometer Thursday night and the high Friday was about 45 but felt much colder. Saturday was not much of an improvement.

Mary Jane and I arrived on Thursday and, right about suppertime, a couple of carloads of women showed up from the state park telling us about a "Taste of Goliad" going on at the fairgrounds. About 12 to 15 of us headed over there along with what must have been the entire town of Goliad.

You got a plate and silverware when you bought your ticket and then got in line where you picked up samples of all kinds of food in little cups. There were actually two different lines with different food. It was interesting. It was a fundraiser as they also had a silent auction with about 10 tables with lots of baskets on them.

Now on to the rally over at the State park. This is a picture I already had because the sun was definitely not shining and it was too cold to get out and take another one.

A lot of chatting goes on as Texas Ramblin' Roses catch up with each others news.

 Putting puzzles together is a very popular activity. This one had really small pieces.

Charli works her magic making new members feel right at home in the chapter at their very first rally.

 We had a great time in spite of the weather. Cookie Davenport took this great evening photo at the park entrance.
