It's almost Cass County Fair time. People with kid in 4-H or who participate in the competitions at the fair are already preparing for it. I can already smell the burgers and the funnel cakes! There is just an air of excitement in the air at fair time. The Figure 8 races, the amusement park rides, the exhibits, Ms. Purplepockets, the barrel races, Sheriff Bill and Deputy Tuttle, and the line up of new tractors and cars from area dealers. It's pretty much the same thing every year yet there isn't a chance that I'd miss it. This year I get to take my grandkids and I'll get to experience it through their eyes. I'm guessing it will be a hot, sticky day and I'm not talking just the weather. The cotton candy will be everywhere! I hope to see you out at the fair! If you spot me stop me and we'll take a selfie together for the newsletter. Let's see how many we can get for the August 13th newsletter! Mental note to self...get a haircut before the fair.
