There are many entertainers that spend their winters down here in the Rio Grande Valley. We have every variety of singers, groups and bands. A lot of them are Country Western, which isn't exactly my cup of tea, but we still manage to find plenty that aren't. Dan and I (mostly I ) prefer the old Big Band sound and from there my preferences jump to the 60s, 70s, and 80s. I also love what I call "Beach Music" , which includes The Beach Boys, Jimmy Buffet, and the Surfer groups. Like "The Castaway" that entertained at our New Years Eve party.
Some of these entertainers play all over the country during the rest of the year, then follow us seniors down here for "The Season". Others live down here and survive the rest of the year on what they are able to make during "The Season".
When we first started travelling with our trailer, we saw a lot of parks with lots of activities and amusements offered, but we didn't come across many Dances. We've been to parks from Florida and up the east coast, then another year on to Arizona and New Mexico, California including Palm Springs, but nowhere did we find much dancing going on. Now here in Texas, you could go to a Dance every night of the week if you wanted to.
It's all very reasonably priced (some in our own park are even free) and it's Bring Your Own Beverages. Everyone brings their own little cooler and the hall supplies set-ups of cups and ice and you can buy soft drinks and popcorn.
It always makes me think of the old prohibition days with everyone reaching under the table or into their cooler for their flask and pouring their own drinks. It's lots of fun.

AND THAT'S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT TEXAS
