The Carbon County Fair

This is a very busy time for us.  The Fair starts on Monday, and we are involved in two ways.  First, we are entering some of our vegetables and preserves.  That includes jams and jellies, eggs (brown and white), onions (three kinds), horseradishes and peppers and tomatoes and cukes).

Then there is the Democratic Party booth.  Rocky is bringing his giant wooden donkey, but we have posters, decorations, and all kinds of equipment–straw bales, tables, chairs, lights, extension cords and zip strips, petitions, registration forms, handouts attacking Barletta, posters praising the Democrats,  All of that stuff has to be collected, loaded on the truck and car, and taken to the fairgrounds tomorrow.  


And we are ready.  The instructions to the volunteers say that they should not be goaded into arguments, but if they are goaded into arguments, they should not get physical.  We are also not to argue with Trump supporters.  It is like trying to teach a pig to dance.  It annoys the pig and wastes your time.
