There is even one full of picnic tables located just south of the "food court", it may be where they are putting the beer concessions:

Thanks Snowball!

It is real easy! on OJT is best - after you do Saturday -you will be all set for Sunday!

I will be posting a layout map of the fairgrounds with directions to the booth, it's easy to find, along with anything else you need to know!

See you there!

Back by the fairgrounds again today. They are continuing their set up and people are starting to move in:

They have put a line of flags all along the East side:

If I don’t end up working, I should be available Sunday for an all day + packup.
Previously mentioned Friday I should be able to help after I get out of work, will depend on work commitments. They don’t exactly schedule things...

Currently looks like I am working until 4pm on friday, and it is approximately an hour drive (not accounting for rush hour or other traffic) I will likely be late but I expect to be there, barring any surprise changes to plans.

Sunday is still looking like I'll be open for full day, again barring any surprise changes to plans.

Hopefully that will make your schedule look a little better.

Yes it does, thanks!

Almost 12 hours on Sunday and two shifts harsh

Looks like the weather might be in the 70s and b-e-a-utiful for the weekend.

[Roundballer]

It was still a little dreary when I was by there this morning, but things continue to progress towards getting things set up.

Just a few more shots from outside the perimeter. In no particular order, from outside the fence with a crappy flip phone camera. More boats, the "air dog" pool, a climbing "rock"(not erected yet) some tractors and mowers, deer blinds, vendor trucks, and a very recognizable trailer.

PS
Saw the set of A10s go over while I was there. It is a normal event here in I/C.

But it Looks like you were inside the wire LOL, we got there just in time for Tallbear to get the trailer BACKED in from the south end of the tent - before it was closed off by machinery, looks like we have that "Advertising / billboard space all to our self!
