waltz across texas

 

This couple took to the dance floor to "scoot a boot" at the live music venue sponsored by the Plains Watermelon Festival.  The spectators sat on bales of hay to watch and eat their watermelons  slices.  The dance moves were smooth; they probably weren't dancing when Ernest Tubbs recorded his hit "Waltz Across Texas" in 1941 but probably have made many twirls to the song since then.
