Bye Bye BG see you again!

Well, today under the oppressive humidity and heat of a very warm (understatement) day we closed out shows 58-60 of our summer tour. Beech Bend Park 2010 is now a memory and we shall miss her. We made many new friends and reacquainted with many old friends. We have started the ball rolling on looking for a home here and we performed a bunch of shows. The park opened it's new wave pool and lazy river attraction and then caught up with the things put on hold until those tasks were done. I got to know the owner a little better but spent less time then we would have cared for with his kids and grand kids. They are very nice folks.
Our audiences were small today; Sunday is always slow here and the threat of 50%+ for thunder storms kept crowds away. Still our first audience was very good. The second and third were stinkers. I think it was the heat and humidity but even a tongue on fire couldn't move them to any great reaction. At least we had fanatastic audiences for most every show (I think only 3 or 4 were stinkers all said and done.)
We had special visitors from London, KY (our last booking). One of the fair volunteers from London brought his family down and were our guests at the park. They left a little redder from the fun in the sun they had. Thanks Tony for coming out and supporting our family and show here in BG.
I took the two little one (Amy and Ollie ) into the Lazy river and then through the wave pool. It was a lot of fun. But easy to sun burn since you just lazily drift around the attraction until you are deposited into the wave pool and pushed by waves to the shore.
Lots of goodbyes and farewells.
I have lots of video footage to edit and will have the videoblog for Beechbend in a few days.
We were inviterd back next year.
