Beautiful fall day for the fair. It's been years since I'd been. Free tickets and close-in parking passes made it nice....
Busy day on the midway - all the usual rides and games.
Ah-ha - here is the destination.....the Pittsboro Kiwanis Club Ham Biscuit booth! Our home for the evening.....we'd been "invited" to volunteer for 8 hours of non-stop Ham Biscuit selling! All for the good cause, of course.
Duane was assigned the chief-cook position....I, of course, knew he would be great at this...
The position also included lots of cleaning duties. I'm looking forward to some help in the kitchen now that he's experienced in removing baked-on crud!!
I was the lowly sales-girl. Non-stop! I've never seen so much money change hands so quickly. The captive, hungry fair-goers are the perfect customer set. Great for the Kiwanis. This is their major funds-raiser.
Somehow didn't get a shot of my partner at the window, Lindy - but we all worked like a well-oiled machine!
Here's Dick - our ringleader and expert biscuit assembler.
Really, it was a fun time. Not something you'd want to do every day, but a good way to spend a pretty fall evening.
Sales were declining around 10PM when the fireworks finale brought us all out of the booth for a quick peek. Then a bit of clean-up and an late (early morning, actually) drive back to P-town!

Oh I remember the fair - mostly the fairgrounds on Saturdays for the flea market - do they still do that?
Love,

I'm impressed. You must have been exhausted after the 8 hour shift was over.
hey t & s - yes, they still do the flea market every weekend that the fairgrounds is free - rain or shine, summer and winter. i haven't been in ages - 10-15 yrs maybe.
and - believe it or not, i wasn't really tired after the 8 hours. constantly busy - and they had these great "hole-y" mats to stand on. somp'in to be said for staying busy. plus, i don't think i've ever seen more polite people! all the young folks said yes'ma'm and such....lot's of 6 yr olds pushed forward with money in their hands to order "like a big person" - all very nice to see. good fun. i guess i'll be "volunteered" again!
You should drop the recipe for those ham biscuits. They're so good, we came back like 3 times in 5 hours.
