Barn in the USA is almost a reality
The Santa Cruz County Fair opens Tuesday, September 11, and those who attend will see definite touches of honor to our heroes. Watch for life-size firefighter cut-outs tucked among the happy-go-lucky lamb and bunny decorations.
This is the first time I've had the privilege of seeing the fair come together from the perspective of volunteerism and I can tell you that it gives one a sense of grass-roots American patriotism. While some county fairs seem to be on the wane, this fair will be filled with the representations of what makes it an honor to live in this country, in California, and in this beautiful coastal region.
But it's time for me to stop crowing and get back to work. Blog entries may be sparse the next few days as committees pull together for long sessions to put the finishing touches on decor and begin assisting with entries and displays. See you at the fair!
