As the big kids were getting the staging area set up for our show I drove the hour back to Louisville to pick up Miles at the Airport. He joined us late for three reasons: first, he had prom, second, he had finals, third he was selected to go to the American Legion's Boys State in Sacramento this past week. Exhausted from the crazy week and suddenly shifting to eastern time wiped the kid out. He did not perform today but he worked his tail off back stage in spite being told he didn"t have to.
Storms were a threat all day but all broke up and went around us. However about 20 minutes before closing one small cell hit and big ole rain drops fell. Thank God we were almost completely packed up by then and our mascots were just in from strolling. Midori went out as a mascot for the first time today. She was Blue Dog , a suit given to us in Clarksville by a vendor. She loved it.
The little girl with the wand is a new fan. Elizabeth is also the fair prez daughter.
The audiences are great. Really responsive. The first day is always feel out the crowd day. They are friendly folk out here.
Mami and Titus stayed at the hotel due to the major storm threats that never materialized.
Poor Lukas developed poison ivy today. Not sure where he got it, but he's got it bad. I sent him back to our hotel (walking distance) so he could be out of the humidity. He gets a few days off.
I want to wish my friend Dean the best on her recovery from major surgery and my best to her man, JC!
