Show Low Rockin' the Rim

When we arrived at our RV park in Show Low, we saw a flyer on the bulletin board about "Show Low Rockin' the Rim" coming up on Memorial Day weekend. We looked up what things were planned for each day, and decided to go on Saturday. When we first got there, we walked around checking out the various booths -- way in the back we found "Tails of Love Rescue" (https://tailsofloverescue.com/), the local rescue group...

They had a family of 4 kittens that had been found when they were about 2 weeks old on the White Mountain Apache reservation. No mother was found, so they were bottle raised by a local foster. (In the picture, one of the kittens is underneath the one on the left.)

The lady we spoke with indicated that they had had 5 dogs adopted between Friday and Saturday! There were a number of dogs there available for adoption too.

There were a number of food trucks available to supply needs for dinner... 

Our resort has a different food truck come every week, and Moondogs is one of the ones scheduled to come.

We had never seen a Culver's food truck before!

It wasn't quite dinner time for us yet, but definitely something to consider getting!

Looking back up the grounds toward the area where the stage was

Cody Gibson was scheduled to do the Saturday night live music set - the information about the event indicated that he would do a "Saturday-night country set packed with familiar favorites, dance-floor energy, and crowd-pleasing live music."

Behind the band, the backdrop had a seal for the City of Show Low indicating "1953"...

... and in front of the stage, there was a banner indicating "Show Low since 1870".

Show Low has an interesting history - from https://www.kupi.com/en-ae/explore/united-states/show-low/history: 

An Unusual Founding Story

The history of Show Low began around 1870 and is inextricably linked to a unique legend that gave the city its name. According to tradition, the first two settlers, Corydon Cooley and Marion Clark, jointly owned a vast ranch, but over time realized they could not coexist on the same territory. To resolve the dispute over who would remain the owner of the land and who would leave, they agreed to play a game of cards.

The condition of the game was the phrase: "If you can show low, you win." Cooley drew the deuce of clubs — the lowest card, won the dispute, and remained the master of the lands. This story is immortalized not only in the name of the city but also in the name of its main street — "Deuce of Clubs".

Although the park had provided a make-shift dance floor in front of the stage, there were only a few folks who made use of it for dancing, 

The majority of the users of the dance floor were little kiddos playing with hoops and balloons!

It was nice to participate in one of the events in Show Low over the Memorial Day weekend.
