Well, at least our world for five days will be. Bet and I and the Bowerman gals will be down at the Puyallup Fair for its last five days. We exhibit our turkeys and quail in the Animals of the World Barn.
We work hard setting up and then we work the crowd for the next five days.
Our aim? Give ’em what they want, turkey style. Either information or entertainment. Both are an easy do.
Most folks don’t realize that turkeys only existed on the western hemisphere prior to the Europeans discovering the Americas.
Just sayin’, sorta interesting.
I’m a bit tuckered out from the wedding and I’m looking forward to doin’ the Puyallup and talking about things other than feeding eighty people, fancy clothes, cakes, flowers, ribbons…. But when I get back from the Fair I’ll have more photos collected from everyone and very ready to tell all about the wedding and the story. I think I’ll do it all in C’s. C for Coulter. Cake, clothes, company, concept, craziness…. C’s work doncha think? Night for now Dear Reader I’ll be catching up with you about this time next week.
I’m not really participating in this week’s banner challenge because I won’t be around for the vote but the others will be putting up posts I’m sure. So go see what their world’s stage is this week, Dave, Fishing_Guy, Mac, and Gail’s Man. See you next week!
I MISSED THE WEDDING?! (I have to catch up on things!).
There is a big giant pumpkin weigh off at the Puyallup Fair! But I just goggled it and it was Sept 10 so I guess you can’t like go say “hi” to all the growers and tell them you are “friends” with me. But hey if you do see any, say ‘hi’. haha.
Hi Dear Lanny, You have a good rest at the fair..but you best be writing that C blog post in your head as we old ladies are anxious to read about the wedding. Turkeys are pretty interesting..our wild ones are bulking up for winter and feeding in all the fields in the evenings. Have a good time at the fair! Thanks for your kind words and prayers, and even the bit of cussing..Far Guy is much better today..I hope he stays that way:)
Lanny: You will get to see a lot of fair stages during your trip.
Enjoy your time at the fair. Should b4e plenty going on.
We went to the animal fair – the birds and the beasts were there – and the Vick gals and their boids. Sounds like a splendid way to follow up wedding festivities – no dressing up in fancy duds for the fair – and all that interesting fair food! eager to hear about the wedding and more pictures – lots of cute,colorful clothing with courteous children and complimentary customs?? I’d stink at an all one letter blog
Lanny, I hope you have a great time at the fair! No, I didn’t know that turkeys only existed on the western hemisphere prior to the Europeans discovering the Americas, but I do now! It’s always good to learn something along the way.
Have a good weekend!
I guess I’ve been blogging for years but have not run across a wedding/turkey show post before.
