BBQ Capital of the Country!

Last Saturday, we decided to take a drive, admiring the BEAUTIFUL fall colors, to the local town of Lexington, NC.

It just so happens, that it was also the ONE day of the YEAR when this town celebrates its special food!

So, being from Texas, we HAD to go and see what this was all about, right?

There were probably at least a few thousand people at this event.  It was HUGE!  The town of Lexington shuts down their city, and it seems that all the businesses get involved and all the people, too!

There were rides......

The juggling unicycle performer.....

Street performers......

Works of art!  We were totally captivated by this sand art!  So cool.

We also thought it was too awesome, seeing Dustin Lynch perform his famed, 'Cowboys & Angels' song!  He is actually from Lexington, and comes back every year to perform.  :)

We saw this booth and Tanner showed his 'Manly' skills!  He actually completed 18 pull ups - MARINE-style!  (for those of you who may not know, that is a pull-up that requires your arms to stretch all the way down, with your legs dangling straight, as you pull your self up over the bar)  -Yeah, my arms hurt just thinking about it!  HA!
 Go Tanner!  We were all so proud of our boy.  :)
 He won a cool water bottle that says, "Pain is weakness leaving the body"

So, after all that walking around, we decided to taste some of this FAMOUS BBQ at Speedy's.
The waitress was so sweet and wonderful and even brought us more fries.  BUT.  I can honestly say, that we all love Texas BBQ better........sniff...sniff.....
It was a little sad.  But, you just can't take the true Texan, out of us, loyal, DIE-HARD BBQ, lovin', kind of people!


Blessings,
Steph
