At the Alaska state fairgrounds in Palmer we have enough room behind our booth to park our camper. Having our rig close by makes our time at the fair comfortable and convenient, and offers a place to take a quick nap or grab a bite to eat. The kitchen table gives us a space (out of sight) during quiet times to shuck freshly picked peas from my garden. When customers come into the booth I quickly clean my green stained thumbs and take care of business. So, next time you stop at my booth you know what goes on behind the scenes. Every booth has a different story behind, it is another world very separate from the gee-gaw, gimcrackery out front.
