TAYLOR JAYCEE'S 1ST ANNUAL BIKE & SNAKE SHOW
The weekend of September 29th to October 1st was the time frame for the Taylor Jaycee's 1st Annual Bike and Snake Show. Since it was the first year for the event at the J. Lorraine Ghost Town (east of Manor, TX) attendance was low but not bad at all for a first time event.
Approximately 100 people were there to enjoy the music (some really good local bands) and the bike and snake shows. Next year maybe there will be as many bikes in the bike show as there were snakes in the pit. Both shows were good and the Jaycee's as usual displayed their proficiency in snake handling as well as informative tips on snakes and their behavior and ours in relationship to the snakes. For me that means - I'll just stay clear.
The bike games were going along nicely until one of our members encountered the effects of gravity and physics at the same time - only minor injuries were sustained and the bike didn't fare too bad either.
Sunday morning dawned with an overcast sky and high humidity, where there had been a fair number of people Saturday night there were only eighteen people on the grounds. Twelve people attended the service put on by yours truly with the assistance of Don Potter (on harmonica and guitar) and the New Life Riders.
