Today was the beginning of the Bluegrass & BBQ Festival at Silver Dollar City. We arrived just in time to see the Link Family at one of the outdoor venues. We had seen them perform this past winter at the Paradise South RV Resort in Mercedes. About ten minutes into their performance it began to rain and the rest of their performance was cancelled. It was a good thing we had brought our umbrella. We walked over to the Opera House and waited in line (in the rain) for another show. By the time it was over the rain had stopped and the sun was out. The rest of the day was bright and sunny. We took in a total of seven shows. We wandered over to the woodworking pavilion to see if a woodworker, named Ralph, was there. We had met him two years ago and had a nice conversation.
Later in the evening we were watching the approaching weather. We decided to stay up on the chance there would be bad weather. Around 12:15am, the winds started blowing so we decided to walk up to the clubhouse before it started raining. There was no one around. In about five minutes, the city sirens sounded and the we had an unscheduled social hour at the clubhouse. The rain passed over quickly and the tornado warning was lifted by 1:00am. We walked back to the rig and went to bed.
