parking week

Ah, it's fair parking week. Our Kiwanis club is parking cars in a lot adjacent to the Fairgrounds.We've been doing it for several years as a fund raiser. We have had two decent nights as far as weather. Tonight's the big night. There is a battle of the bands that draws a crowd. And of course the Demolition Derby, that will really pack in the demo fanatics. Last year we had almost 500 cars in our lot. But what makes it tuff this year, is they say that because of the way the trailers are parked in the Fair's lot, they lost about 100 to 200 parking spaces, and another private lot, is not open this year, so we will be very busy.

I'm pooped this morning. I had a Doctors apointment in Herkimer yesterday morning. I walked down and got the bus to Herkimer, and of course I had to get dropped off at the old Vampire Diner,(Empire Diner), the bus driver said that they don't drop people off on the main road, so I have to get off at the diner. Bullshitt. Their bus schedule has it printed that they drop and pick up people at the Kmart and Bassett Healthcare as well as The diner. Fuck em. It was a substitute driver so I guess he wanted to be an asshole. I had to walk down and back to the Doctors office. So I had a lot of walking yesterday. Plus helping park the cars at the lot last night and I guess I got a little extra excercise. It was difficult getting out of bed this morning and I'll bet I'll be sleeping in tommorrow morning.

If tonight's anything like last year, we will be swamped with cars and traffic will be backed up both ways on route 5S at the exit's. Lat year the Fair's lot was full and the other private lot was full, they even sent a cop down to direct traffic in front of our lot to direct people into our lot because of the others being full. We are trying to get our people up there early to get things going and hopefully we will have enough help to park all the extra cars.

Of course we have plenty of refreshments and we order pizza ever night. Hopefully we don't run out of refreshments. (Refreshment's =beer and for the non drinking people, soda}. We also have our Fall Raffle tickets for sale, so if youwant to get into our raffle stop by and pick up a ticket.......


well that's enough for now, I'll let everbody know how we made out thjis week. TTFN...............


Oh by the way, Keep your stick on the Ice...
