Flea Markets and Dog Show

Saturday, 28 May 2011

Flea Markets in the United States are like Pasar Malam in Malaysia.

This is the 3rd flea market that I have visited in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We visited the Admiral Flea Market (9401 East Admiral Place, Tulsa, OK 74115) and the Great American Flea Market (9210 East Admiral Place, Tulsa, OK 74115) on Friday, 6 May 2011.

This is the Tulsa Flea Market (4145 East 21st Street, Tulsa, OK 74114) and it is opened every Saturday from 8 am to 4 pm.



It didn't take long for me to get bored. I guess I didn't need anything there. So I left Michael there (he loves to look at old stuff) and I walked to a dog show which happened to be held this weekend, in the same buiding.

Forgot the name of this Saint Bernard at this time of blogging. Spotted him and was told that he won in one of the show. He is heavier and bigger than me!

Region 1 Marching Band Contest, Amarillo, Texas

Saturday, 17 October 2009

It was a university interscholastic league region 1 marching contest held at the Dick Bivins stadium in Amarillo, Texas.

Started off with the 1st bank from Stratford High School at 10:00 am.



Followed by the Wellington High School


This was what we came to support. The band from Sunray High School where Michelle and Joshua were performing.




We left after the Sunray High School had performed. I would love to stay and watch because this is my first experience, but I have to follow the gang. I think paying $5 for admission just to enter and support our Sunray High School is a little wasteful for me. And Sunray High School was only the 3rd band playing that morning! Well, I guess the gang is used to this kind of content and I should be happy that I got that opportunity to watch 3 bands.

There were 6 classes of bands. There were 12 "A" bands, 9 "AA" bands, 3 "AAA" bands, 7 "AAAA" bands and 2 "AAAAA" bands. There are altogether 33 bands in the contest.

The 1st "A" band (Stratford HS) performed at 10:00 am and the last "AAAAA" band (Amarillo HS) was scheduled to perform at 8:30 pm.
