Are you planning on "working" the fair?
I'd love to come Sunday, but I don't think it'll happen.
Email me a photo of the new one....please. Butterfly...Has Deb rubbed off on you?

Default Every Evening....

I am scheduled to work the North Mountain exhibit on Thursday, but offered to cover each evening. I started the "monarch" painting years ago. I finally dusted it off and finished it in just two hours last night. It was that close to being finished!

Gotta love the candy game!! My kids, when we walk by, start yelling "Candy, candy candy candy!" Just like the game runner does!

Oh, now you've really got me revved up for the fair! And I love going at night - what a great atmosphere!

Thanks for posting the pictures!

And every year I always go home with a candy apple and funnel cake.
Think what I love most there is the Orange Julius drink.
I remember when I was little winning a goldfish and my father having to stop in Ben Franklin's in Shickshinny to buy a bowl and food!
We always drove down on Route 11 from Nanticoke. To this day I love driving down that way.
There is one thing that has changed since the 50's !!!!
No more girlie shows !!!!!
