Final preparations

So no moonbounce, but I have managed to build what I like to call a Reverse Dunk Tank! It dumps the water on you instead of dumping you into the water. I'll have to find some volunteers to sit in it...
This is the time that we're doing the final preparations, making lists, gathering supplies. There's a great line up of volunteers committed to serving the fair. Some of them have been helping out for quite a few years, but the only person who has earned the distinction of being a volunteer for all ten fairs is my brother Ian. He was only 6 when we started doing this, but he was there, helping me hang up posters and mix lemonade. This year he has his sights set on the cotton candy machine.
I'm feeling pretty good about where we're at right now. At this point, most of it is routine. I hang up flyers, send press releases, and just generally get the word out.
I just love doing all of this so much, the run-up to fair day gets really exciting!
Hope to see you all there!
