The Bar D

You must say "The Bar D" with the thickest country accent you can muster to really get yourself in the proper mindset for this post. On Monday night (yeah I'm late) the Giles family went to the Bar D Chuckwagaon show and dinner. As most of you know I am not really a country girl but I love the Bar D. That said I can only go every 2or 3 years to really appreciate it. What is the Bar D you might ask? Well the Bar D is a dinner and show all set out under the stars down on the outskirts of Durango. This summer they are celebrating their 40th year of entertaining families. You go and have a chuckwagon meal, which consists of some kind of BBQ meat, beans, potato, applesauce, biscuit, and spice bread. You can either drink water or lemonade. I think you are already getting the feel of the place. After dinner the Bar D Wranglers all play their guitars, fiddles, or bass and sing cowboy songs. Some of the songs are funny, some are gospels, and some are just country. The entire time we were there I had this feeling that one of my friends would fit in great here and after a while I realized this is the place for Lindsey K. Dowdy. (I mean I can totally see your family hanging out here.) I had a great time even if I did stick out like a sore thumb.

This is our attempt at being country. Even with the hats we still fail.
