Time Does Fly!

Wow, time sure does fly ... I can't believe that it has been four days since I have last posted. We have had two work nights since our last blog. What has been happening on the fair grounds .....

At our work nite on Tuesday, there was more work on the 4H building interior, pre-sale ticket packages were prepared, grass seed was planted and work on the drainage improvements continued. The water main shed was completed. The "Gate Girls" were there working on getting their "crew" secured and ready for the big event! The floors in the festival building were cleaned and the building was readied for the next event. We even had a turtle rescue and relocation. Tuesday dinner provided to all volunteers after the work is fine was sloppy joe sliders, coleslaw, beans and banana bars! Yum, yum, yum!

Wednesday involved mowing, weed wacking and radio station promotional ticket packages were prepared and mailed. While there is always something going on at the fairgrounds, there are more fair volunteers that are working from home on seeking vendors or going business to business soliciting for sponsorship. Since we are a not-for-profit organization, we rely on a great deal on the spirit of volunteerism and the generous donations of local businesses and citizens!

We had another work night on Thursday. It was well attended and a great deal was accomplished!  All the mowing is currently caught
up! We continued to whack the weeds where the mowers can't reach! The parents of our local high school seniors begand the set up of their senior nite! Our volunteers moved benches, antique wagons, removed tattered wood from bleachers and more wall work in the 4H building.

Activity at the fairgrounds was pretty quite during the day! We spent the day working on a surprise!    Around noon, the parents and volunteers of the seniors from Livonia High School ascended on the fairgrounds to finish the setting up for the Senior Fun Nite! Later in the afternoon, the gardening group came to finish up their sprucing up the gazebo area with planters and bushes! It is really taking shape! Around 6pm the busses arrived with the seniors! The Senior class certainly seemed to enjoy their party with live music, games, prizes and a bonfire. They boarded the busses just before 10 pm and headed back to the high school for a fanominal fireworks display!
