Last Day of the Fair

Thought I'd be done talking about the fair.  NOT!  The last day for us is a sweet/sad time.  We're glad we're to the last day - usually tired but so sorry the fair is over.

We get up early - yes - I'm up and out the door before 8am.  We have breakfast on the fairgrounds then we take in the things we haven't seen or want to revisit.  We have until 1pm when we go back to the volunteer office and start "tearing" down the info and getting ready for next year.

So, this morning we had breakfast at Cindy's Place.  It's kind of nice.  The girls come to the tables (only at breakfast) to see what we want.  Sharon had scrambled eggs/toast.  I had French toast and bacon.  Then we caught the tram up the hill.  Stopped in at Pioneer Hall to watch a fiddling group.  Then we started our walk downhill.  Took in part of the civil war reenactment.  At the time we got there, they were talking about the clothing of the time.



It's been awhile since we saw the chain saw carver so we watched him finish up some of the last pieces.  The auction would be that afternoon.



Then we received a request from Connie to see if we could pick up a duffel bag Kevin saw at the fair.  So that meant we needed to go into the Shoppers Mart.  Definitely not a waste of time.  Bought a couple of new pillows - we did need them.  Getting headaches, etc.  Didn't buy any knives this time.

Had dinner at the Pork Producers.  We both had coupons for a free dinner.  Really didn't want them to go to waste, now did we.

Now, it's off to work to finish out this year's fair.  Got home around 9pm.  The next few days would be finishing the scheduling for next year's fair.  Having dinner with Paula and Ernie at their new Event Barn - forgot to take the camera.  It's truly amazing.  August is almost over.
