Throw Back Thursday - WV State Fair

Every year since 20, I work at the West Virginia State Fair. I don't always get a spot in the Employee Parking Lot so I learned take photos of landmarks near my car so that I can always find it at night.

Charlie Daniels is always a big hit at the Fair but he won't be there this year because he stepped over to the other side. Godspeed Charlie. I used to go with my late hubby because he LOVED the Platters who were as he was. I had a ticket see Alabama in 2019. The concert was cancelled because one of the band members had health issues. Jamie Johnson was a reasonable facsimile.

My younger travels with a concession company and works at fairs in various states. He is currently in Florida. I won't see him for months until his company lands at WV State Fair.
He says 2020 was the longest vacation that he has ever had but he is glad be back on the road.

I use the $$$$$ that I make finance my travelling adventures. I try go somewhere that I've never been at least once a year. That didn't happen in 2020. If all goes well, I will get out of West Virginia in 2021.

My husband and I used to go to the state fair one day and do and see everything that interested us. That was the only day of the year that my mother babysat our kids. Then a couple days later, we packed a picnic and took the kids to the fair. We knew what would interest them, so we concentrated on those areas.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
