For lunch, I ordered a kid's chicken finger meal from Jack's.
I went to JC Pennys where I bought a black dress for Sunday. 

My last event of the day was at the Visitor Center, entertainers were Travis Wammack and Microwave Dave Gallaher. 

Microwave Dave and Travis Wammack jamming at Visitor Center

They sang, the Last Call for Alcohol, You Better Move on, I forgot to remember, we had it all, and many others. 
A drummer (Robert) joined in the last half of the show and he did not have a drumming stick because he used close hangers.
They ended the show with a bang!!
Wow! What a show!
If I had known Microwave Dave was that good I would have attended more of his shows during the Handy Festival.
