Sometimes working is pretty damned good

It's county fair time again. I signed up for a lot of time this year. I got 4 days this year. But even better than that I got to work the days I wanted most. See our fair entertainment this year included several concerts. Foreigner, Montomery Gentry, Big & Rich, Reo Speedwagon and Foghat. Not to mention 2 days of Rodeo action, demo derby, monster trucks, and combine demo derby (you know those big things that pick corn and soybeans and such). I got Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, Reo Speedwagon, and monster trucks. Redneck heaven. I got to meet Montgomery Gentry. Really nice guys, especially Eddie Montgomery. They helped the road crew put the stage together. Got autographs and pictures. One of my all time favorite country music acts. Took my sweetie to see Big and Rich. I have a hard time remembering the last time she looked so very happy. I had a blast with her there. It wouldn't have been right to be there without her. Reo Speedwagon, well they probably should have left well enough alone. It's almost sad to see them still on stage playing. I grew up listening to them, sort of. They got some new stuff they played, but it just wasn't real good. I think there might have been 200 people show up to see them. Raven Simone had 7101 people come to her show the day before. Big and Rich packed in over 5,000 and Montgomery Gentry brought in just short of 5,000. I sure wish I could take my Drew to see the monster trucks tomorrow, he'd love that. I have spent a lot of time away from my family this past year, it's been tough and miss my family. It's really starting to catch up to me.
