Just got done Fryeburg Fair!

Well, I survived the Fryeburg Fair again this year. This was my 3rd time attending the fair as a board member for Maine State Florists' & Growers' association, and I had a great time again. Wednesday, my first day, I got to be a design assistant, and a runner...sort of a Vanna White for the crowd. Housed in Expo One, MSF&GA's Fryeburg Fair Flower Show is the largest live designing spectacle put on for the public in the state. Today is Saturday, and it's raining, and I am SOOOOOO glad not to be there...I definitely know it's gonna be packed to capacity. Thursday, I got to be a comentator, talking to the audience about the designs they were seeing. Plus we got to do trivia and give-aways this year. It was all alot of fun, even tho my throat was raw by the end. The best part is that I looked really competent (for once!), and my shop got alot of great positive publicity. I'm so hoping we can have a really good holiday season, and overcome this stupid thing called poverty! While I love what I do, and in a very big way, I would really love it a whole lot more if I could get paid.
