On the maggots thing- the 'maggots only eat dead flesh' is a myth. SOME types of maggots only eat dead flesh. There are many different species of maggots and some are perfectly capable, and happy to, eat live and healthy flesh.

Think fly strike.

Nope I haven't checked. I am not sure who to contact for that. I was figuring out that we could manage to do most of this out in the parking lot.

So if anyone can tell me who I should call, I will be happy to ask. Otherwise we will need to find a parking lot to do the swapping in. Walmart just came to mind.

Maybe I missunderstood. I think if we are just handing off pre-arranged sale/swap items is different than what the LADIES down south do. I really think we should take some lessons and maybe we could get some of them to help us set up a swap like they do. Thiers are HUGE and sound very fun and succssfull !!! I just "might" know how to get in contact with one of them.

Thank you for remembering to ask the host club. They are the ones who have the contract with the grounds and are responsible for keeping it orderly.n As I remember from last year, there wasn't a ton of extra space in the building we were in at Chehalis (most memorable for the singing frogs near the silkie area). Also, we don't know what rules and regulations they are functioning under as it pertains to the contract they signed with the rental.


The club and the show has the final say.

But why maggots only eat dead tissue. So I suppose you would think it really bad to use them as fishing bait and hold em in yer lip to keep em warm in winter.

Ewww, sickness! Maggots are gross, plain and simple!

I'm with you CGG. Warm up in your mouth?

There's not enough emoticons for that!

Thank you! Maggots are icky. And just think, dead flesh is putrid and decayed, maggot eats it (the ones that do) the putrid flesh is inside it and you put that maggot in your mouth. So what is in your mouth?

OK, I'm done. Going to be dinner soon. Got to get this image out of my head.

Yup!

He got the roo! Seems like a really nice boy. I think he'll take good care of the roo...his mom gave me some home made salsa and huckleberry jelly as a trade.

My dad used to make wines. He made a huckleberry wine once that he still raves about. I remember being a kid and picking Dandelions at Perrigan Lake Park for my dad to make wine. Not sure hwo that ever turned out.

I'll bet your Dad's huckleberry wine was good! Our customers make wine from everything, besides grapes. Lots of folks buying supplies for apple wine, hard apple cider, pear wine, blackberry, cherry, huckleberry, strawberry, rhubarb. One older lady makes dandelion wine every year and has entered in the fair. We've even had some tomato wine makers and onion wine makers. They use the onion infused wine for cooking... I'd love to try some of that one day, but I don't think I want to make it. The shop smells so good right now with big fermenting buckets full of crushed grapes that are getting juicier every day. On Monday and Tuesday this week we'll be pressing those grapes to get all the beautiful, garnet colored juice out of them, leaving us with some really nice grape skin cakes. Those can be used to make grappa if you have a still, (you know, to make "fuel) or they are wonderful just to spread in your garden.

yep, I remember my dad did a bunch of these. how fun, I should call up the winery around the corner and see if I can "volunteer". Never heard of grappa....interesting. I heard they are good for the garden. The tomato/onion sounds really interesting for cooking. I would like that.
