George took the tram with Laurie and Bob while I putted around the RV. George wanted to go to the vendors. After taking Abby out and enjoying my coffee, I took a shower and then headed to the tram stop. Without seeing any in sight I decided to walk which probably was over a mile. As I passed the Sutherland Livestock building which I wouldn't have passed if I took the tram, I noticed a whole group of peeps with their dogs. It was only 10 AM and I double checked my schedule which stated that the pet contest didn't start until 11 AM. So I decided I probably had time to go back and get Abby. We arrived back to the contest area where the peeps were checking in. I didn't realize that I had to sign up in advance, however they took us as a late entry. Abby was up for Most Friendliest and Most Adorable. I thought for sure she would win the Most Friendliest and everyone else in the spectators area thought so too. However when the the winners were announced a standard poodle won. :( I had to agree that the tea cup chihuahua definitely was the cutest pup there. I took Abby back to our motor-coach and met up with George who was there meeting with a shade dealer. After lunch, we went back to the vendors and eventually met up with Laurie and Bob at 3 PM as they were supposed to take a test drive. While we were there with them Laurie was picking out colors and looking at floor plans while Bob was negotiating a price but the numbers. So then the salesman was pestering them, and vice versus. Laurie was griping that one of the dealers was selling a different brand of motor-coaches at list price. George and I got tired of waiting for their test drive to commence so we headed back to the clock tower to pick up the tram. While riding the tram we saw Bob test driving the unit, which made them want it even more. They finally came back and we had the short ribs I had cooked in the slow cooker the night before. They were delicious. Then they left to go see the nights entertainment, while George and I watched Magnum PI reruns from a bygone era. It was funny to see Tom Selleck running around in hot pants and a Hawaiian shirt.
