Finally it really feels like Spring. I am happy to report the sun is out and the fair is open. Sadly the day started off slow. But crowds picked up during the evening (fair opens at 5pm). In fact we had a nice rowdy loud fully packed audience for our last show. We pretty much spent the entire day at the fair to deal with issues that arose but it also gave the kids practice time. They spent a lot of time working on flying trapeze technique and swinging to keep in shape. But also on static or artistic trapeze moves. One such move is going from a standing swinging position then falling back and just at the last second your feet grab the rope and they slide down the rope to the bar leaving you upside down hanging by your feet. Very impressive. It's all been with the harness on. I actually replaced my wind burn with a sun burn today. Generally I have to say for content this fair has a lot to offer at really great prices. But in spite of massive ads on radio and newspaper and tv attendance has been low. At first we all thought it was the weather since it was so cold. But tonight, though the best night so far, was still slow and it was a nice night. I really mean it when I say you can't beat what you get at this fair. The entertainment (modestly aside) is really great and the concert stage is RIGHT there in front of the audience. Rick Springfield (Springstein???) was able to touch his audience last night. I am happy to report that all of us are healthy and doing well. My only complaint is that since we are across from the Southern BBQ place we all come back to the hotel smelling like we've been camping...you know that smoky smell.
