Quick thoughts on the fair

• Golf carts, while a luxury on most days, are pretty useless Friday and Saturday from 11 AM until 10 PM. Even then, you may have to drive all the way around the fairgrounds to avoid the crowds.
• No, I cannot give you a ride on my golf cart. I am heartless because I have to be--it's the rules. I refused a ride to an elderly man with a cane and a one-legged woman with a prosthetic. Not to be mean, but Rascals are available to rent at the gate and I think you'll know if you need one before you come. And I would be liable if you fell off so my boss says no rides. But Emily refused a ride to a sick baby...she's currently winning the mean award.
• Mullet count is way down this year (though I haven't gone to the mullet contest).
• Attendance and general sales really took a dive this first weekend....not a good sign. Weather controls attendance.
• The fair is always more fun when you work there. And I love the water crew guys--they are hilarious.
• Eat what you can on the run. I'm trying all sorts of new vendors this way.
• Hydrate on hot days, silly. On hot days you can count on many a dehydrated, heat stroked individual.
• Random fair stories are so funny when you're tired at the end of the day. Like people spitting from the sky gliders or old ladies in tube tops....
• During the week I'm doing half days and sadly, I kind of miss it already.
