Here in the cave of wonder, No. 92

I will not be online for the rest of the day, because I will be in West Springfield with [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel, [livejournal.com profile] rushthatspeaks, and [livejournal.com profile] gaudior at the Eastern States Exposition, otherwise known as the Big E. I've never been; I haven't even been to a state fair in years. I have hopes of it being epic. I still plan to sleep in the car.

It's fun! If I weren't spending the day at a harvest party, I'd suggest we try to meet for dinner or something -- I can't even remember when I last saw you in person! I have the distressing feeling it may have been at Enchantments....

Enjoy! I've never been either, in spite of living so nearby for fourteen years. My kids have all performed there, though, and I hear they have elephants. Also, at least in the past, a sculpture made out of butter.

Wave at Belchertown as you go by :-) A number of us will be here to wave back.

I hope it's a wonderful epic time for all of ye!

I hope you can get some sleep in the car.

Will be curious to hear if there's indeed a butter cow.

ETA: Lucky you! It looks as if the draught horse show was going on today.

I was feeling nostalgic, and wondered what was happening on the horse show front, so I looked at the website. At the Ohio State Fair the draught horse events always used to be right after ours, so they'd be bringing them in over the last day or so that we were there. I can't help but call to mind the time my then-girlfriend and I had a very funny conversation with somebody who was bringing a Belgian into the washrack as we were leaving and who complimented us on our "really nice-looking yearling" (a fourteen year old Throughbred/mutt mare). Strange to think how long it's been since that day.

I hope you had fun at the Big E. If I'd known you were going, I'd have asked if you could have brought back some maple cotton candy (nums....)
