A few years ago we made the short drive to Palo Duro Canyon to see the musical Texas, and ended up sitting in the pouring rain until the very end.

If you have never seen this play, you wouldn't understand. If you have, you totally get why, despite the pouring rain, the theater remains packed until the very end.

Without giving away much of the plot, I will just say it's about the history of our great state.

There is singing and some dancing, but there are also Indians, fighting and gunpowder.

Plus, you can eat some of the best BBQ you will ever put in your mouth before the show.

The show runs June through August and is a great little mini-escape for couples, families or out of town visitors.
