... and in the afternoon

On Saturday afternoon during Mancos Days, there's lots of sports activities, as well as strolling around the booths, hearing the Pioneer Queen introduced and visiting with old friends. There was three-on-three volleyball, the baseball tournament, the dunk-the-politician tank and, finally, the Battle of the Blondes ... an arm-wrestling contest supervised by the Mancos Town Marshal and recorded by the Mancos Times editor.

By six o'clock, however, Mother Nature had gone back to her old tricks and the lightning storm produced power outages, including our one and only stoplight. We tucked it in and had a quiet evening at home instead of going to hear a new group, Blue Coyote, at the opera house. tv
