Last Monday in August

Just a reminder. My latest book, Recall, is on Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/Recall-Connie-Cockrell/dp/1484886224/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1375657368&sr=1-2

It’s been a crazy month, and truthfully, I’m not sure where it went. In a week, I’ll be hip deep in the Northern Gila County Fair. I’m the VP of Exhibits. A fancy title that means I’m in charge of the entire exhibits tent. Yep, we’re still in a tent. Maybe we’ll have a building next year.

So what does that mean, to be in charge of all the exhibits? It means that anyone who wants to enter their barley or their quilt or their painting of Aunt Madeline, comes to me and my team. They’re called Superintendents and take care of each area of interest, Agriculture, Photography, Hobbies, Canning, and so on. Even though we’re a small fair we get thousands of entries. They all have to be tracked, displayed, judged and prizes, if any, awarded. Then at the end of the fair, those exhibits have to go back to the right people.

Just this year we put up a web site: www.northerngilacountyfair.com. Check it out. It’s still rough but it gets the information across.

This will be my second year as the VP of Exhibits. It’s still a huge learning curve. I hope I pull it off again this year.  If you’re in central Arizona September 6, 7 or 8th, stop on by the Event Center at the south end of town. I’ll be there all day every day, usually in the Exhibits tent. Hope to see you there!Image
