The countdown is on

Indeed, the countdown is on! We only have 12 days until the start of the state fair. Many people claim that they are the biggest fan of the fair, but I beg to differ. 😀 When I'm not at work, I'm at the fair, snapping pics, walking around, directing people to the places they are wanting to go, and blogging all about it in the evening. I think I'm the fair's biggest fan.

I made a trip out there today, to see what was going on. I only saw a small handful of people working out there, cleaning food trailers and prepping things. In addition to the assortment of food trailers, there are also a few rides on the grounds. Whitewater is there, so we know that Crazy Mouse most likely won't be, as that ride shares a space. Because of the size of those rides, it's either one or the other, but not both. I took a lot of pictures today, and they are on my Facebook page. That's how I typically cover the fair. Pics go on my Facebook page, and the blog posts to Blogger, but I always put a link on my Facebook page. Feel free to stalk my page during the fair time to see what's new. If you're not interested in fair stuff, just scroll past it.

My first official act at the fairgrounds, before I do anything, I'll be heading to the Domestic Arts building to see how my cookies fared in the judging. I'm entering chocolate chip cookies, oatmeal raisin cookies, peanut butter cookies, and snickerdoodles. Wish me luck!

I'm also excited about one of my favorite roving acts, Bandaloni! This guy is talented. If you get a change to see him, take a listen. He is a one-man band, and his show is entertaining. Ron Diamond is a must-see as well. On the Wednesday night of the fair, Tobymac is making a grand appearance! I have missed multiple chances to see him, and I'm hoping this might finally be the year that I get to see him.

There will more posts to come between now and the fair, but I'm going to have to cut this entry short. I just got called into work. I have taken a step back from my baking business and have taken a job at The Alley, the local bowling alley and entertainment venue. I plan to put the funds into my mission fund, as my baking business has been struggling. I'll let people know when I plan to do some baking, and that's the way it will have to be for now. Keep your eyes and ears to this space, as I'll continue to update you as to what's going on at the fairgrounds as we lead up to the 8th of September! Thanks for reading, and God bless!
