The Fair!

Here is the youtube link if your having trouble

Were going to the fair, rain or shine. Living in this town, you mark your year as the year that it rained at the fair or didn't. Either way, we still have fun. The kids woke up this morning and it was reminiscent of Christmas morning as they buzzed with excitement. I'm tired already. I have come to realize that the Durham Fair is a homecoming. It truly does have something for everyone. My kids love to see their exhibits, I love the photography.  My parents come to experience the feel of a small town and what a town showcase it is. Everyone shows up. High school kids treat it like the prom. College kids reunite with friends they have missed. Even older ex-townies trek homeward to reunite with friends of the past. So in essence, it's not the food, or the entertainment, the exhibits or the rides that make the fair. There's is no one thing were drawn to more than the people. The fair is built on volunteerism. Every person that puts time into the event cares about our community and making it a better place to live. That's why you'll see us there despite the weather. This town depends on its people.  So as we get rained on this weekend, enjoy it because we're all there to see each other.  While this is the case I do have a secret reason for showing up. There is a giant sugar donut with my name written on it. Check out last years video.
