Rain Rain and some more rain

So, the heat wave is over...that means that low pressure system moved over and let those high pressure clouds come flowing in...and flow they did. It came down in buckets. Friday is the most important day at this fair and, though they stayed open, their main event was canceled (tractor pull) and they lost a ton of money. It rained through our first two shows and was sticky and muddy for our last show.



Prior to the show and after our hair cuts we went out to Corbin, Ky just down the road to the birthplace of KFC. It's an annual thing for us, and Mami's first time. It was fun. I got some great video for the video blog coming in a week or two.
Yes it is raining while we perform....audience of 12.





I did my hillbilly costume and the kids just wore their street clothes.







Imagine doing a show in the rain. Yes people came and watched. The second show had 25 or so audience members. We stuck with side show stuff and tricks or routines that can't get damaged in the rain. Not looking forward to pulling the trailer or RV out of the grassy area on Sat. night.




By the time the last show came around it was dry...well it wasn't raining. But the ground was soaked and muddy. We pulled a full set of bleachers and a few standers, but nothing like a Friday night should be.

Bug of the day...another moth.
Besides our visit to KFC, the haircuts, rain and the mud the day was pretty normal...if by normal I mean completely insane. Oh, I nearly forgot, Olivia ran a 102 fever right before the last show. She, Amelia and Victor had gone on rides just a few minutes before so we are hoping it was just the spinny rides taking their toll. But we picked up some motrin for kids just in case...will keep you appraised.
