Well hello! Glad to be here! It's been a rainy, windy, muddy week at our county fair. On Tuesday, we happened to be at a 4-H hog show. We were sitting on the bleachers under an open structure with only a roof for shelter. The show was getting close to the end, so we were all trying to hang in there with the rain forecast looming over our heads. All of a sudden, it hit! All those who were trying to watch the show ended up in the middle of the hog arena trying to stay dry and safe. What a scary experience! That wind and rain came with such force! I had my arm around this little boy who was scared and couldn't find his mom. Of course, the electric went out. It was soooo dark out too even though it was daytime. In the end we obviously survived, but I don't want to do that one ever again! We were all soaked but O.K. Whew!! There was so much damage to temporary structures on the grounds. All kinds of tents, ect., were a total loss for the different exhibitors and vendors. We have a camper out there for the 1st time. There was no good way to get from the midway to the camper to stay out of mud. :( We will never forget this fair!!! The other fair experiences were O.K. The fair was closed to the public for the rest of that stormy day. This was in the town of Urbana, Ohio and there was much damage within town. Down trees everywhere. There were a couple I guess at the fairgrounds as well.
I will say that there are all kinds of theories about why we are having the kind of weather we have recently experienced. I will just leave that thought right here....
Peace and safety to all!!!
Stay tuned!
