The 101^st Burt Cunty Fair is in the books (almost, the horse show is Friday, tomorrow at 1:00 p.m. due to it being rained out).

Congratulations to all of the people who give it their all so you and I can enjoy every minute of the fair!

I don’t know what I enjoyed the most. I do enjoy seeing everyone. The fair seems to bring old friends together.

I also enjoyed going through the fair parade. I hadn’t been in one for many years. I forgot how many people sit along the streets! It was a beautiful day, unlike past years that have been so hot! I was a bit warm by the time we reached the end as I walked, and sometimes ran, through the parade. I enjoyed seeing people along the way and visiting as much as I could before I would have to run to catch up to my family that was with me in the parade.

I didn’t get to see all of it until I looked at the pictures on my camera. My future son-in-law took pictures for me, and I have to say, he did a fantastic job! Thank you Tri!

All in all, it was a fabulous time. I am still a bit exhausted. I wondered how much effort it would take to clone me!

I also want to thank all of the well-wishers I talked to during the fair. It was so good to see everyone again and to be back doing what I enjoy most. Now that everyone knows where to find me, you can start reading my columns again! I heard from many people that have been missing those since May. I will do my best to put one on my online edition more than once a week.  Thank you f

or reading and thank you for caring! It means the world to me!

I do believe this is the first fair that I didn’t ride any of the rides. I don’t like heights anymore, so my choices are limited. I was too busy being my reporter self to think about riding.

I did enjoy watching the young crowd riding and laughing. It brought back many memories. I prefer to watch now rather than ride.

If I were to choose, I’d ride a kids ride, but I am not the right size for that anymore! So, I watch!

There were so many attractions, I couldn’t even begin to choose a favorite one. I love to see what the 4-H’ers have been working so hard on throughout the year. Their projects are priceless.

There are also the sewing, baking and flower projects that are entered by so many individuals. They are all so beautiful. Burt County is blessed to have so many talented and caring people. Without each and every person, no matter how large or small the contribution, the fair would not be a success.

Thank you to all who made the Burt County Fair and very memorable one. Thank you to mother nature for being so cooperative. It was beautiful all the way around.

Thought for the Day: How many parents are counting the days until school starts?

Have a great day! We will talk again soon!
