Country Fair

Shortly, Seth and I will be off to visit the Sedalia Center's annual Country Fair. Seth wants to make sure to see the sheepdog herding demonstration at 3:30. I want to enjoy the live music later on but I'm not sure how long we'll have the stamina for. The Sedalia Center is relatively new, I'd guess about 5 to 10 years old, created to bring back the arts. Years ago I went to a couple yoga classes there, a live-mike coffeehouse or two, and my boss was married there. So today's their best attempt at re-creating a good ole Country Fair. There are even gonna be several events that you can enter your mule in! Jumping and pleasure riding are two of them. Also high on our list for today are going to the Beekeeping and Blacksmithing demonstrations. Oh, and of course the early American crafts have a strong draw - churning, broommaking, and caning (one 'n') to name a few. That's one of the many things Seth has brought or brought back to my life - an interest and appreciation in the home crafts. I was already noticing I REALLY enjoyed DOING MAKING WORKING with hands and I know that massage and ASL were branches of this. Seth and I have both at times kindled and kept up each other's interest in crochet and knitting - in that way that racing people have pacing buddies. And in that way that little kids suddenly want to play with the toy that has been in the room forever and a day untouched until the OTHER kid picks it up and makes it suddenly more interesting. But I ramble...
