NVVR's 4th Annual 5-Day Livestock Show Trail Ride
Date: Monday, March 9, 2009 to Saturday, March 14, 2009
Place: San Manuel, Tx to Mercedes, Tx
NVVR Club Ride?: Yes
What a ride that was! It sure was nice getting to see each other out there on the trail. Our ride started with a couple of nice riding days, but as the days progressed the weather changed on us drastically. I’m proud to say that NVVR has some mighty tough cowboys and cowgirls, who endured some awfully cold and rainy rides. However, the weather didn’t deter us from having a good time.
Thanks to our cook, Sonia Limas, for keeping us well fed and doing an outstanding job! Special thanks to Jeannette and Edward Pena for having specialty meals on the side for all of us. Your cooking was delicious!
Special thanks also goes out to Rene Aleman for hooking us up with his equipment and awesome jams. There’s nothing like the great outdoors! The dance at Delta Lake Park proved it. What a blast with Southwind country-western band playing for us all night long. Other nights were enjoyed by having campfire entertainment with a guitar in hand and plenty of cowboys singing. Thanks to Mingo Longoria and Flavio for providing the entertainment.
Even with the parade canceling, we all had a great time! Plenty of thanks go to all the officers, their spouses, riders, and volunteers. Let’s plan on making it to next year’s 5th Annual NVVR 5-Day Ride!!
