The Carbon County Fair officially opens tomorrow. Check out the peach jam--I have no idea if my entry won, but I can’t believe it didn’t. I also entered about six different types of hot peppers; I have my fingers crossed.
More importantly, stop by two booths. The Democratic Party booth will be staffed by different Carbon County Democratic clubs, and the newly formed Carbon County Labor Chapter booth is staffed by union volunteers. I’ve worked fair booths for years, and I have noticed that quite a few people stop by to argue. It is always encouraging to see a friendly face and hear a supportive comment.
I must say that in the past the volunteers staffing the Carbon County Republican booth have been generally nice. They aren’t filled with hate, and while I’ve had some heated discussions with them, they are in the ball park. They don’t think the President was born in Kenya or that all Democrats are socialists.
For the last two years the Tea Party people (or as they are known in Carbon County, the 9/12ers) have also had a booth. My advice is to walk on the other side of the midway. Those people do not play well with others.
Expect to see you at the fair. I walk where ever I wish to. Actually if the 9/12ers are there I want to thank them for the job they did. I need to use this as an opportunity to invest more in the market.
