Where In the World IS The Concert?

I spent the morning today working my shift at the Pro-Life booth at the Fonda Fair. My plan for the rest of the day was to hang out at the fair until 7, when I would then watch the Powder Puff Demolition Derby, and then at 8 attend the Oak Ridge Boys concert. So while I was waiting for the Demo-derby, I wandered around and got some shots of the goings-on.

I finally headed over to the grandstand a little early in order to get a good seat. Luckily I had a book with me, yeah, Ladder of Years, so I was able to occupy my time while I was waiting. Not too many good photo ops from where I was sitting, until...

...the festivities began. It was a little difficult to get good shots because of the chain-link fence, but I tried.

The Powder Puff Demo-Derby finally began. It was awesome. I LOVE watching these things--I probably should be embarrassed about admitting that, but I can't help it. I want to compete in one of these things.

Thinking that they should soon be setting up for the Oak Ridge Boys Concert, I waited patiently, only to see that they were getting ready for another demo-derby. This one--The Grand Slam. Okay, the concert would follow I was convinced.

There were 21 cars in this demo-derby. OhMyGosh!!! It was so fun.

When I turned in the other direction, I notice the full moon. Very beautiful.

As they announced the winner, people began leaving in droves. I was very confused--why were they leaving if there was supposed to be a concert? I thought, "Where In the World Is the Concert?" So I asked the people next to me and they said, "Oh, it's in the horse arena and the line is really, really long". Ooooops! Gotta get going.

So I put on my running shoes (figuratively speaking) and got there in no time flat--with no line in sight, and the "Boys" were only halfway through their first song. Whew! So as I put my hand in my tote to find the ticket, I found it immediately. (now that has to be a record, normally I'd have to empty the entire contents out on the ground just to find the one thing I was looking for--totes tend to be like the big black hole whenever I'm trying to locate something).

As I entered the arena, I saw that it was packed and wondered where I'd find a seat. So I walked along, looked up, and there was a seat.

Well, to end this missive, the concert was great and I even managed to get some tolerable images of the group.

Altogether it was a good day.
