Clarence had told the girls she would spend her hard earned babysitting money on them if they'd go downtown with her to the fair. I got home from the Baptism just as they were leaving, so I went upstairs and changed my clothes and we 4 went downtown. I wanted to go to the "Colonial Days" part of the festival first--then the "market". The wagon wheel is a replica of the wheel on the Mayflower. Googla informed me that the metal smith had a waffle iron. He does in fact have one in his display in the middle of the picture. Last summer when we painted our house the Ridd's got theirs painted, in anticipation of Colonial Days. It looks nice. Those tents were the size used by the troops in the Revolutionary War. They slept 9 people to a tent....SCRUNCH!!!
Wacky, Clarence, & Googla are sitting on a bench at the Fair. Artisans and food vendors have booths set up all over the Courthouse grounds and along Center Street. I was talking to our friend Ed Ham about his pottery. He has beautiful pottery. The girls were sweltering. It was SUCH a hot day!!! Clarence got mini porcelain dolls for Wacky and Googla. She bought a Peruvian bag, and a Jamaican-colored bracelet for herself. Money spent/they were happy.
