VALENTINE'S DANCE 2010 Benefit for Pecos Humane Society

We actually had an evening out last night and it was a good time. This was the 3rd. annual Valentine's Dance at the Posse Barn to benefit the animals of Pecos. There was about 100 folks there and the band was EXCELLENT! They are from San Antonio and are called Billy Mata and Texas Tradition. Their music is in the tradition of Bob Wills. I've never wished so hard that I knew how to Texas two step. There was sand on the floor and everything. But we're good toe tappers so...had a good time.
1. Catclaw Honey Bath and Body products were for sale. Catclaw is a NASTY invasive cactus.
2. Nice boots...the person wearing them is a guy!
3. & 4. There was a silent auction which included photographs, 5. a turquoise and copper embellished cow skull-isn't it GREAT? wish it was mine, and 5. jewelry.
6. Our fearless leader Ruth Luster posing with Billy Mata.
7. George had a great time. I like his "whiskey smile".
8. Gene takes to the dance floor with Reecia to the only non-country tune. I think Reecia lead. The good news is they didn't fall down.
9. Bartender Dan who lives in Barstow and is a cowboy poet. He does readings and recitations at the big Cowboy Poet Fest in Alpine.
10. Doc and George.
11. G. & M.
12. Me and Nancy- she's president of the humane society.
13. The VIP table.
14. I love this posse barn sign/photo.
15. The Posse Barn. The Reeves Co. Sheriff's Posse actually used to be a mounted group but aren't anymore. The barn is THE local place to rent for parties. This was our first time there.
16.-17.-18. & 19. The band. My favorites were the pedal steel and fiddle player. I'm sorry now that I didn't buy one of their CD's.
