C10’s in the park is a family event and I’m grateful for my family making the haul!! You know it’s a good time when you get up at 4 am to line up!! Now we take the back roads to head home!! On the way to waxahatchie, we stopped in Hamilton and they had some very accessible sidewalks around the square. Good to see modifications to “vintage” building situations.
