Jefferson County Fair

Madras, OR July 22-25

We are presently selling at the Jefferson County Fair and it has been terrible. Nobody around and a number of us are in a very bad area of the fair. People can't see us. Don't really expect much to improve and I just have to watch out when I cross The Mine Field in front of us where the cows take dumps.

Monday, July 20. We arrived in Madras and quickly found the fairgrounds and went to the office at 12:00PM and checked in and got our space number in the RV Park a couple hundred yards away from our space. We also got our booth number out in the fairgrounds.. We then drove over and found our space. They had an area with two rows of around 8 booths each, one vertical, one horizontal. We were located in the second space of the farther row against the fence. The spaces weren't marked, so I had to pace off a 10x10 area. Even though we are two days early, we decided to get our canopy, grids and tables up. This area is scorching hot during the day time and we planned on returning either Tuesday morning or evening to get our things set up.
