After the fair
Well, the 2007 Santa Cruz County Fair is now history. The attendance numbers were good and the crowds seemed to be having a great time. There's a tremendous amount of work that goes into making these kinds of events successful and each person who works behind the scenes, paid or volunteer, receives a huge blessing. There are always a few political moves, power struggles and some frayed nerves, but most people work there to have fun and make the fair a delight for all who attend. And some of the most dedicated workers were seniors, who spent hours answering questions for visitors, decorating exhibit halls, driving tractors in the parade and even delivering ice to vendors.
Oh, and for those of you who didn't make it to the fair in person, the winner of the Giant Pumpkin Contest was grown by a 12-year old boy and it weighed in at a whopping 786 pounds.
