Of course Salado is a very artsy little town, so your wife may want to spend another day or so shopping there. My wife usually takes off on Saturday afternoon to hit a few of her favorite stores while we're there.
Midland is a ways to drive. If you are looking for lodging (and if Salado is booked), you might try Belton, TX as it is very close.
You might want to bring some lawn chairs so you can watch the games, the dance competition, or the pipe/drum competition without having to stand.
Several xmarkers will have clan tents there too, so feel free to come by and visit. We usually try to get a group picture on Saturday afternoon, usually around 1-2pm so I hope you will be around then.
Thanks bdkilted, it's nice to know that there will merchants there selling clan specific items. That is definitely one thing we are looking for. I will also make sure to bring lawn chairs to watch everything.
Thanks for the notice on lodging, but my youngest daughter is going to Truitt Seminary at Baylor there in Waco and we are planning on staying with her.
What sort of favorite stores does your wife like? Maybe the wives can go together.
Thanks also for the heads up on the group photo. That would be awesome.
