Back from Clay County Fair 2017

86º here in Clarinda, IA at 3:12 pm as I start this.
Just got back from the Clay County Fair about 2 pm Tuesday
Had driven by Andy Williams Birthplace in Wall Lake just before noon.
On Monday we saw a good program by the Browns from LeMars, IA

Monday was the day the Clay County Fair honors veterans.  Big parade with American Legion and other Vet organizations in parade from towns all around northwest Iowa.






Yes, I was watching the parade.

Big, big  equipment - and a lot of displays of a lot of companies.

Big combine.  There were far more displays of equipment at
this Clay County Fair than the Iowa State Fair.

Monday got back to the RV's a little early and had some Mushrooms on a Stick that Dick shared and also some melon that we had gotten down at Hiawatha, Kansas from the Neher's.




I got to hear this group twice - Six Appeal.Vocal Band
The Six Appeal Vocal Band Click HERE for website  could really put the harmony together and with lots of background sounds -- all from their voices.  Great Group Out Of Minneapolis.  They started at Moorehead in college and have stayed together quite a few years.


We were at the fair all of 3 days and I have a lot to write, but little time right now.  Will catch up more in a bit.

GROANER’S CORNER:(( A man walks into a store and he saw a thermos. The clerk walks up to him and asks, "May I help you with anything?" "Yea! What is that?"   "Why that's a thermos!"   "What's it do?"   "It keeps things hot and it keeps things cold!"   "I'll take it"   The next day the man goes to work carrying this thermos. His co-workers ask him, "What's that!"   "It's a thermos"   "What's it do?"   "It keeps things hot and it keeps things cold!"   "So whatcha got in it?"   "Two popsicles and a cup of coffee."

A woman, searching for a job, inquired about the benefits. The Personnel Manager informed her they had group health and life insurance, but the costs were deducted from the employee's pay.
She said, "My last employer had full health coverage, as well as five years salary for life insurance and a month's sick leave AND they paid the full premiums." "I can't help but asking madam why you would leave a job with such benefits," the interviewer replied. The woman shrugged her shoulders and said, "The company went bankrupt."
