Swiss Wine Festival Day 1

We had thought we had lost Buttercup it turns out he escaped and hid under the dashboard. Jim and I had to remove the dash and with contortions and a lot of sweat got him out.
Earlier in the day Vic Jr and I did the laundry at the laundromat just at the park's entrance...cleaning the many things that suffered mold from the va rainy load in.
The town is a very cool village. More of a hamlet...no big stores. 30c40 miles for any big shopping but they have a great little hardware store over 100 years old.
The towns folk are mostly very nice folk. A full range of personalities. Very different from many places we perform. But you have to be lucky to live in a town so lovely and with such a great waterfront. Just don't swim in the river.
They have a nice library I visited with one of the kids.
The area seems to cater to the RVer.
The hotel they have mami at is definetly very rich and luxurious.
A lot of older homes, some maybe 100 years old or more dot the river front and town.
Like all towns they have their very rich and their poor. But we have been treated well by every one.
Since we will run only on show this Thursday night every will start late so the little ones spend a lot of time in the park and also practicing.
