The barbecue competititors stayed over night getting their grills hot enough to particapate in the cook off and to have plenty of food to sale to the spectators. They agreed they would also watch Aunt Norma's little trailer which she sold cold sodas, snow cones and slushies of all flavors, cotton candy, and funnel cakes. Samatha and her friends were the tour guide. Sidney had to tag along. When they went into what was the dresser maker's business
Sidney told the tourist that she had seen the ghost of Viola Hutching who owned it and Huggy her puggy looked in the window the same time she did. At first he was scared His whole body shook and he peed all over the store's wood porch then he started growling and barking. Sidney also told them that she was a widow woman who came to the town in 1902 and was shot to death when a group of outlaws came to town to rob the bank and never made it back to her shopThe people who was touring the old buildings just laughed at her story.
The second day of the rodeo event was bull riding which Lucas sat out. He had a good friend who was gored to death by a bull at the county fair a couple of years ago and Lucas didn't want to participate in that event. Instead he arrange the smaller grills and tables for the children's cookout contest. All of the five judges showed up for the barbecue cook off leaving the three alternate judges to judge the children's cook off.
