Get a bunch of Texans together on the
Texas Queen Riverboat and some chips,
and we don't mean potato makes them
a friendly game or two of chants, along
with the steady rhythm of the riverboat
paddle wheel.
And you got yourself a Texas
sesquicentennial fundraiser to beat the
band, even a Dixieland band.
And that's exactly what the Dallas
Sesquicentennial Committee did all night
last night on Lake Ray Hubbard.
Of course, everyone on board paid for the
privilege, which netted the committee
about thirty five hundred dollars and
even the fake money, the excitement of
the real riverboat gambling with real
dealers was worth it.
After all, it's for charity, so
why not? OK, let's go right here on
the table.
Not bad for
the next 21, Randy.
Really, it was on the clock, right?
Of course, there were a few losers, but
the great prizes donated by area
merchants to add to the fun and the
biggest on the winner Texas style
atmosphere made it a night to remember.
But the best part of it is you can
legally win all this money.
But, Randy, aren't you going to give any
of it to charity?
