Titus County Fair Texas Day 1

Mr Nick does Olivia's hair!

Day one at the fair....we arrived a little before lunch time but since we all ate late breakfasts we postponed that for an hour or two. The power on the northeast side of town was out so we had to deal with that as an early in the day issue. It mostly just affected the fans we use to keep the animals cool. Under the stage where there was a nice cross breeze worked out to be a good spot to put them.

The kids all worked out hard since we are coming off a two week break. It proved to have done the job because everyone nailed their parts in the shows. Only two shows today.

The first show started off with only one boyscout in the crowd but byt the time the show was over we topped 100 people. They were a quiet crowd.

The second show was standing room only and boy were they loud and reactive. It was awesome.

OK I tried the fly bar and I stunk...no upper body strength at all but I have a cute belly button.
Stud?

Hmmm.. reading? Sleeping? Ignoring the camera?
Victor nails the tightrope...not a flaw in the act.

I nailed my act too...literally!!

Belle takes a moment to give love to a volunteer.
During our two weeks off we went to trapeze school. Olivia has already added some of the moves her teacher taught her...like this "by the ear" move.
This young man's family came to both shows and remember us from when we were here a few years ago. The mom has invited our girls to her show this week for a manicure. Cool. The kids hung out with each other for quite a while. They gad fun.
Hmmmmm

Upity?

We are blessed with the opportunity to work with performer friends from recent past and distant past. Mike Mesmer and Wade Henry are here. There are some new performers we have never met before here too. I will try to get pix.

Well, the power was back on before the shows started and all went well. People in this part of Texas are really nice folks.

We have been blessed immensely this trip and praise God for it. We all send our love out to all of you.
