Moving Day Today

We made very good progress yesterday. The "blow-ups" were installed and we moved some hay bails around to be in place for the next steps. We still have a long way to go, but at least you can see a little bit better how it is shaping up:

We have to move our RV over to the lot today as the petting zoo tent needs to be installed today and that will block the access to the RV location if we don't get it moved.

There are still some issues that need to be resolved. First, and most important to us, is running a water line to our RV. The power is already there and with the water connected we would be ready to go. There are some construction issues that Rob (our owner) is trying to resolve with the Fairgrounds staff. The main one is how to attach our poles and other equipment to the asphalt without creating holes in the surface. It is virtually impossible to do it any other way, so he has some convincing to do.

We also found out yesterday that every carload of visitors needs to be charged $9 for parking at our site. That is not good. I don't believe that charging for customers is going to help our sales. Oh well, this is the first year for this location and we are learning a lot about how and what to negotiate for future years.

I mounted the help wanted signs on the fence yesterday and,  so far, have had no calls. I hope that situation changes today with our RV on site....
