Our ward had a social where people could sign up to represent a country or state that they have either lived in, knew something about, or were just interested in. Of course, several returned missionaries displayed their fields of labor. I decided to do Texas since it is THE most fascinating state in the union. After I signed up I realized I didn't have a single Texas artifact in my home. Hmm, this was bad on a number of fronts. Well, I was going to cancel but remembered our neighbors are from Texas and I'd seen plenty of paraphernalia at their house. So, the boots, hat, flag and basket (with spoons) are theirs. Much of the other stuff is thanks to good ol' Hobby Lobby. We also were supposed to bring typical food. I made chili, with chips and cheese. Next year, maybe brisket. Anyway, I secretly thought our table was the best. Dad and I were pretty decked out if I do say so myself. Isn't Dad cute touting the glories of the Lone Star State. It was a really fun night and I recommend it as a great activity.
