It is off to the fair and a helicopter flight!

This beautiful July 23 morning I headed out to Delta fair. Before the midway opened I talked Victoria a youngish woman who worked on the midway and she enthusiastically shared with me the camaraderie and perks of travel in her career. Then I woke with an older gentleman: Sandy who was born at the fair to his fair employed parents. He said it was much like travelling with the circus but the winters off were nice and not everyone would enjoy it. He was the maintenance engineer for all the rides and we spoke of his commitment to the safety of those who put their trust in him. Interesting man for sure.

I truly enjoyed seeing the exhibits and talking to Sharon and Jeff Halliday who are the only poultry exhibitors. Jeff spoke so warmly about his geese … and no… they eat neither them nor their eggs. They enjoy them for their being geese. Jeff commented on how very intelligent they are and I thought they looked it.

Welcome to come with me to the fair

This is one of the team that one the pull. Gorgeous gentle intelligent animal … the horse that is. I don’t know the man.

Helicopter ride over Delta and Beverly lake. A truly special experience. A special thanks to Miles Bies and Doug the pilot who made it possible for me to fly as solo guest.
