The day started with the satellite antenna installers showing up at Nancy's, to get her set up for high definition TV, via the new Winegard Traveler Antenna, connected to DISH Network. It took a couple of hours, and with a few adjustments, she was up and running with a crystal clear, high definition picture on her Jensen flat screen TV. Later in the day, we stopped at Lowes, picked up a screen guard for her entry door, and after a few modifications, I bolted it to her screen door. A few days ago, Jessie, her Jack Russell Terrier, being in the super protective mode, came right through the screen, when I opened the entry door. Now, that won't be possible.
Around 6pm, we headed back over to the big hall, where pizza was being delivered for the pizza party. It only took a few minutes to get pizza distributed to several hundred people, and there was plenty left for a second helping. I'm not a big fan of Domino's Pizza, however, when one is hungry, like we were, it actually tasted pretty good. 
The pizza, with my ever present Sharps, and a picture of the pizza serving tables.
The highlight of the evening was the Cactus Queen Beauty contest. We all waited with great anticipation, for the 7pm parade of aspiring Gorgeous George's, and believe me, we weren't disappointed. With Nick as the MC/comedian, and the lineup of potential royal queens, the laughter was almost nonstop. The idea of men dressing up as women is certainly not a new one, however, when you take a group of men who easily fall into the category of senior citizens, then it puts an entirely new spin on things.
How Nick convinced these 8 men to put on ladies clothes, parade around on a stage in front of several hundred people is beyond me. That certainly isn't in my wheelhouse, but it was enter-taining to watch these guys pretend to be ladies. (Boy, that's a stretch!). When it was all over, and everyone had laughed themselves silly, by applause, the Cactus Queen was selected.
The last picture shows the winner standing, and trust me, it wasn't a pretty sight. But, I guess the bottom line was that we all had few laughs, and that's what it's all about. Today, we're taking a break from the rally, and heading over to the Market Place Flea Market. We discovered this shopping experience several years ago, and as flea markets go, this one is the gold standard. For a couple of flea market junkies, today is going to be a good day.
