Tuesday, July 22. Senior Citizen's Day. Large amount of kids in carnival area. Good sales until 3:00. Night crowd mostly stood around socializing. Lots of $1.00 sales in evening. No sun all day; breezy at times. Cooler in the evening.
Wednesday, July 23. Weather prediction. High 69 Low 48. Partly cloudy. It was sunny all day long with occasional winds. Mostly kids today, but more adults than on Tuesday evening. However, sales were slow and many booths closed at 10:00.
Thursday, July 24. Sunny during the day, cloudy and cool in the evening. Breezy occasionally. Mostly penniless kids (after paying for rides) around. Crowds less than Wednesday. No real drawing card. Rodeo starts on Friday, which should bring people in. But will they bring their money? Vendors quite friendly and need support.
Friday, July 25. Great weather. Little wind and sunny. Where's Waldo? Rodeo has started but sales are slow for everbody....slow, slow, slow until around 7:00PM.
Saturday, July 25. Good pre-11:00 sales was a good indicator that people were going to out buying. Best weather day of the fair. Tailed off during the afternoon, but picked up after 6:00PM. Packed up our stuff at 11:00PM and covered up the canopy and left it overight, return Sunday morning to load up and head on out. They had the finals of their Rodeo Saturday evening, which drew a decent crowd.
Saturday, July 26 Last day of event. Good buying crowd in the morning and early afternoon. A bit warm and slightly breezy. Most of the vendors, etc., will be packing their stuff and leaving tonight, but we'll just pack our stuff and load up in the early morning and head on up the coast, taking a couple days to reach Redmond. The vendors will mostly be heading off to one of three different county fairs.....Blanton County Fair in Corvallis (we were there last year); the Del Norte County Fair in Crescent City, CA and Deschutes, where several of us will be headed. I expect to see a lot of our fellow vendors at the Douglas County Fair in Roseburg in two weeks.
Be sure to check out the beautifully decorated booth, Coral Reef Smoothies for a cool, refreshing drink or try a slice or two of great-tasting pepperoni pizza next to Marcella' s Thai Food, which is pretty good also. Should be constant lines of 30 people waiting later on in the week. And of course, come on over and check us out. We are on the right hand side about 8 booths down next to the trailer selling cell phone cases. We sell shoulder (sling) bags, wrap skirts, sarongs, shell necklaces and a lot more.
NOTE: There is no major entertainment at this fair; the main attraction is the Rodeo
