I am looking forward to what is becoming our annual visit to the McHenry County Fair. The grandstands look great from Country Club Road and I like the new large American Flag. Also looking forward to eating steak sandwiches from the Cattleman’s association, pork sandwiches from the Pork producers and Corn Dogs! Followed by elephant ears, cotton candy and washed down with a lemonade shake. Tractor pulls are on Friday this year, so I’m heading over there to breath in some diesel fumes and watch the dirt fly. Will also visit the swine barn and look at all the fine examples of ham, pork chops, bacon, pork belly, ribs and trotters. Yummmm! Laura has sent out the instructions for tomorrow's meeting. Where to meet, who to greet and where to go. If you don't read this hopefully you read that. Ok, Ok! I'll repeat it: Our meeting this week will be at the McHenry County Fair! Plan a little extra time. Parking and getting to our meeting site may take a few extra minutes. Consider staying after to check out the exhibitors and what they've worked on all year. Enjoy the new paved paths that help with dust and make the fairgrounds more accessible for those with mobility difficulties or wheelchairs and strollers. DIRECTIONS: - Come in through the Main Entrance.
- Park in Free Public Parking.
- Meet this week's Greeter Mike Iwanicki at the #2 entrance gate to sign in and get your ticket. He'll direct you to the meeting location.
*Be sure to get your hand stamped in order to return this evening for our 1st Friday Social. Thank you for all that you do and for supporting our McHenry County Fair. And thank you Laura for organizing this event for our club! |
