A country party

- Black-eyed peas fans -

Here are a few photos from the Hobbs New Year Dance. It looked like there were about 150 people there all at once, maybe more with coming and going. Ages ranged from little bitty babies to people who have been adults for quite a while. People were rarin' to dance and the music was accommodating. Greg Maldo's band was really good, and a local talent Kyndra Vaught sang two songs, with the band accompanying. Howard and Judy served black-eyed peas and cornbread in the little annex building connected to the gym. You could also buy soft drinks, water and coffee in there. The band stood on a stage that has been built where the visitors side bleachers used to be. It was a good set-up and the crowd flowed in and out of the spaces. Maybe more of these events could be coming?
