It's heeeeeeeerrrrreeeeeeeee!!!

Annnnndddddddddd.......here we go!

Yup--another 'fair week' to contend with.
BIG trailers, noisy vendors--the ferris wheel! Lights, colours--huge crowds......  Woooooohooooooo!!

The good news is this happens every year--so it's not like it's a surprise and we have no time to plan for it. The gooder news is I'm on crutches and I have an excuse to keep it parked on the patio.  *sigh*  Not a bad place to park it--but I'll miss the 'up close and personal' moments of the fair.  I doubt that crutching my way around the jungle of cords and people will make for a good plan.  Maybe there'll be a 'sneak in and look around' time that's practical?
Yeah.
Notsomuch.....

Darn--and they even have Skippy the water skiing squirrel. (no relation to our ground squirrel I'm sure...LOL)
AND an aligator!
And concerts that'll draw folks like you wouldn't believe.

People!
Noise!
Red solo cups!  LOL

Mel......on the patio, meeting, greeting.....and staying the heck outta their way!!!
Oh, it's a good thing I rearranged the jungle on the patio this weekend.
I'll hide better.  :-)

An alligator? OH my, here it's a good day not to see one of those. Hubby and a local sheriff's deputy had to rope and hog tie a 13 foot one a couple of years back. But in the alligator's defense, he was blind. Someone had shot out his eyes. Poor thing. The alligator wranglers came and put him out of his misery.

Sorry you're going to be missing all the action. :-/ Especially Skippy.
Does your fair have pig races? They were so popular in NY.
