It's March. And winter has come in like a lion. I couldn't make the last meeting, but everyone else did, and it was business as usual. The tractor pulls have been taken care of, as well as some other entertainment. It shouldn't be long before the information is posted on the website. Were moving along pretty good now, at first we were behind. The book is going to be published by the herald,

Not really spring cleaning, but I started to clean out my fair bag for the convention. And I cant believe i have accumulated a large amount of stuff in my bag. Next week, or so, we will be down at convention. I cant wait - i love everything about the convention. The drive, the lodge, meeting everyone, and realizing that we are not the only fair with problems. I cant believe that it is January

It's fair week! Everything is going good, and the weather has been good to us also. Although it has sprinkeled every once in a while, it was nothing much. Lets hope the rest of the week works out the same. I hope everyone has enjoyed this years fair so far. The redneck games were a complete success last night, and the crowd loved it. Next year we will definately have to continue this fun

Its getting so close to the fair! Books are done, after a long process, and the orders are being placed for everything. The website has been getting lots of hits everyday, and thats exciting! I encourage everyone to come out and enjoy the 37th Annual Fair. This year we're switching some things up, and we hope you will like it. Got to go for now, have some calls to make.

Its only 19 days from the fair. Theres still some small cleaning and work to be done, but we'll get it done soon. Before we know it we'll be smelling hot sausages, home made french fries, and hearing the trucks on the track. See you there!!!

Well, after weeks and weeks of waiting, I finally recieved a call from our printer. Well, it ended up that they didnt do any corrections to our books, and now they need to go redo the thing. It always ends up like this. So if the books are late this year. Thats why.

"A committee is a group that keeps minutes and loses hours." -Milton BerleHow true. I can't believe it, it seems as if the 2006 fair was yesterday. The counter on our website says 76 days until the 2007 fair. What a wake up call! Theres a lot that still has to be done, but it shouldnt take much. That little counter on the website is my motivation. It just keeps saying "You better get that

The weather around here has been a little goofy for a while... warm, snowy, cold, rain. Then I found out that Barb has been under the weather. I hope she gets back to feeling better soon. Its no fun being sick. Especially with sinuses. So, GET WELL SOON BARBIE!!

I cant agree with that statement enough! Theres nothing like being home.Hershey was AWESOME! Eric and I met a lot of people from other fairs, and it was also informational. There were so many people that we met. But one sticks out. Janet from Harmony Grange Fair. It was kinda funny, it didnt matter where I seemed to be, every time I turned around, SHE WAS THERE! It was the same way at the

Today we left for Hershey. We all made it safely. Tomorrow is the big day as the communications luncheon is at noon. I am excited to see what we have won, and see what the other fairs have done. I hope the scrapbook, and the display table win 1st Place. Sherri did such a good job on them. Well, im going to go now, im getting tired, and tomorrow is going to be a long day. I will write more

This year is my first time doing the mass mailing. It was going good, until i hit a few bumps in the road. But I think i have gotten it taken care of finally. First I didnt have all of the addresses on one list yet.... finally got that fixed. Then i needed to mail them.... then i realized that i screwed up on the letter, i had the due dates conflicting on some pages. SO then i had to make

Today I found out that Sherri is moving. :( We will miss her a lot, she was a big help. And she always did a great job on our scrapbook & table display. The fair board wishes her the best of luck in all she pursues! Good Luck Sherri!

I noticed that there were some issues the other night on the website, it wasnt loading correctly. Or sometimes not loading at all. I called the folks at register.com, and they assured me that the issue was being worked on, and would be fixed by tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvience this has caused.
