I have at least 4 posts I will be doing from the Warren County Fair Week but I thought I would ease into it with a few 'behind the scenes' type photos to start.
This was taken Sunday Evening as I was just getting back from WNY VegFest. The sky was so beautiful! I couldn't resist taking a photo of it.
I tried to get to sleep early that night because we had to get up around 3:30am to prepare for the Morning Show. We did double air shifts Monday thru Friday that week! Then all of the other festivities that went along with being a volunteer and board duties my hubby had that week, too!
We can't help but think of a friend of ours during fair time (and every day we are at work for that matter).
He's been gone for a few years now...I actually can't believe it's been that long! He will always be missed!
This was his saying! A friend of ours found this mug and gave it to Dale the first day of Fair. He got pretty choked up about it.
We talked about our friend and co-worker often that week. It would have also been his birthday, too!
Cancer is an awful thing.
This year we installed a park model that was found for a wonderful price. It's in the backstage area for the entertainment who visit our fair.
This was a photo taken from the deck. Many people worked on the space throughout the summer to make it look nice.
We had some wonderful feedback about it too!
I will probably have more photos of this space down the road.
This was my view from Monday after the Media Lunch was over.
Wow, that first picture is really breathtaking! I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It's funny how hard it is to get over some losses.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the sky amazes me!
DeleteLovely sunset pic and lovely mug - indeed, life is good. Sorry about your friend, condolences to all loved ones.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe that it's already been a few years
DeleteThe fair sounds like a great project to work on but that must have been so hard when there are so many memories of your friend connected with it. We have recently lost a friend to cancer. When they are your age it's so hard to believe that they are gone.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss as well. Cancer Sucks! That is for sure!
DeleteGorgeous pic and so sorry about your friend, that is tough but the mug is such a positive memory.
ReplyDeleteIt was neat to see that mug and that a fellow fair goer and volunteer saw it and grabbed it and gave it to Dale! I know it made his day!
