Saturday it rained buckets at the Palmer Fairgrounds, literal lakes formed along the walkways and flooded the unfortunate booths in tents without floors. We are so thankful for our soundly built booth with a good roof and floor that keeps us high and dry. Our booth was packed almost all day with friends, collectors and art lovers. Several original paintings were sold along with many prints and cards. Spirits were high among the rubber boot crowd, even those without rain gear seemed to be having a great time. The attitude was; “it is only water and we will dry, the fair comes only once a year.” Alaskans, a hearty tough bunch, you gotta love ‘em.

I would love to be there!
Congratulations on your interesting display booth and the sales.
Someday maybe you will visit Alaska during the fair. Thanks Noella. Gail
