Family Reunion and Dancing
I went to stay at a fairly new RV park in Belton, TX across the interstate from the Bell County Expo. It is a very nice park and I would stay here again. It was only about 10 minutes from Bo's Barn Dancehall, so I just had to go hang out for a while and check out Branded Heart. The next day was our Sefcik Reunion in Seaton so I closed up and headed there for lunch. After that, I set my sights on Diamond I Venue in Dime Box, TX and dry camped in the parking lot at no cost. It is so nice of the owners to let us do that sometimes! We are regulars, for sure! Kenny Orts & No Chance was playing that night, one of my favorites.

📚 What I learned: This park has been open less than a year. One of the staff in the store/office is an Aggie. Whoop!
🤣 A laughable moment: It’s always a fun time hanging out with friends in the campground (parking lot) and at the dances.
