Excitement is in the air...the State Fair is gearing up to open later this week! I spent all day yesterday checking in artwork, reassuring folks who'd never entered before, correcting labels, making sure the work got placed in the right class, seeing a couple of old friends (Al and Michael Gorman, Kathy and Jim French). It's amazing how quickly a LOAD of work is done to prepare for opening day; there were crews all over the place getting exhibits ready, lining up metal dividers and curtains to separate exhibits, pitching tents to house military displays, beer halls, music performers, among others. Does Louisville host the best state fair in the country?

If it isn't the best, whyyyy it comes mighty close!
ReplyDeleteYour Dad and I went back over there today to return a small flashlight to Dennis; I'd left last night with it still in my pocket. After dropping it off, we slowly made our way past Freddie the Farmer's spot making note of booth locations -- corn dogs, Polish sausages, pineapple whips, roasted corn. Like I said, you have to plan these things so you don't exhaust yourself. :-)
ReplyDeleteAARRGGGH! Dammit. I can just smell the ham and molasses! You'll all be saturated by all the wonderful smells of the fair. Think of us, stuck here in the city and getting a nose full of subway and week old pee and REALLY ENJOY the fair on our behalf!

Would you and Cassie like to receive a little care package after Dad and I go to the fair? Maybe some sorghum suckers?
