I think my DSO will be there as well. He is a BYC member/lurker. He doesn't lurk much.

His screen name here is whattheflock.

Six more days. That's this coming Saturday.
Hope lots of BYCers can make it!

Orp, I'd like to meet you!
Next time I go to SJB, I'm going to look for the Pepper Tree!

So, did we finalize when and where tomorrow?

SC_Hugh and ibpboo, are you still planning to go?

 

[SC_Hugh]

10am at the entrance Saturday morning at the SC County Fair. If anyone is late call me...

okay, good to know we're still on for tomorrow.

Woo hoo, it is fair day!!
Oh my, there is more than one entrance. The one by the big parking lot, you'll see The Candy House (?) when you enter and the Carousel and building B, I think it is the Harvest Building. Then there is the main entrance, you see it when you first pull into the parking lot, it is by the Rodgers House.
The Poultry House is just past the amphitheater.
You can grab a map when you enter.
I am getting ready, see you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[OrpingtonManor]

We are just leaving now. I need to stop for some cash, and maybe some gas. We have nearly a two hour drive, so might not make 10am exactly. I have Hugh's phone number and will call if we are going to be late. I will plan to meet you all by the main entrance. If you are not there, we will go to the poultry house.

See you soon!

Look at the size of those wattles! On the rooster, I mean!

It was great to meet you and to see Hugh again. Someday we'll meet his wife. She is a busy lady!

After you left, we stayed to watch ravioli making, wandered the flower and horticulture exhibits, chatted with the composting gurus, told them about keeping backyard chickens, watched a little of the hypnotist, and checked out all the livestock barns. Tim had a little more to eat, and then we made the long drive home.

Boo, very quick on the pic!
