The hamfest at Weatherford, TX was small, but nice. It was held in a church gymnasium, a nice facility. There were a lot of vendors and we saw some that were at the hamfest 2 weeks ago. Even saw Henry from the Texoma hamfest in Oklahoma. The doors opened to the public at 8am and there were several waiting to buy their tickets and see what was for sale. We started off a little slow but it picked up and we had a fairly decent day.

It was supposed to last until 1pm, but the crowd had thinned out considerably and they had the final drawing at noon. Several of the vendors were packing up and by shortly after noon and the drawing, it was all over. We were loaded up and back at the motorhome bu 1pm. We had some pizza for lunch and it was time to take a nap as we were up at 6am, much too early for us normally.

The wind has been blowing and gusting all day from the southwest. We decided to leave the church parking lot and head north up sr51 to Decatur, TX and see how it was trying to drive in this wind. We did not want to stay at the church being Saturday night. We finally made it to Decatur, to the local Wal Mart and pulled in. It was really rough staying on your side of the road including the paved burm with the wind blowing from the side. The wind is still blowing and gusting to about 35mph, according to NOAA radio, so we will sit tight till morning and see how it is at that time.

We are working our way to Dennison, TX and the Eisenhower birthplace to check it out. Hopefully we can get there in the next day or two, if the weather permits.
