Day 77 of our 2025 RVing Adventure with Historical & Musical Interludes

It's Thursday July 17th, day 77 of our 2025 summer adventure. My morning walk was peaceful and a beautiful way to start the day.

Today was filled with a few runs to the fairgrounds and domestic chores. Even on the road, you have to do laundry and clean! 

One of our runs to the fairgrounds was.... "can you grab the cornhole boards and more water" and bring them over?" There is a free nightly raffle for a set of cornhole boards. Jimmy got various local businesses to sponsor the boards. They are built by a local company and the sponsor even gets their logo on them. Here are the boards and the winners from Tuesday night. Rise & Grind is a local gym and so much more. Rise and Grind Fitness is more than just a gym in Lakeville. They are a beacon of fitness excellence. They are a welcoming gym, dedicated to helping their members achieve their peak physical potential. They are committed to empowering individuals through personalized training programs tailored to their unique fitness goals.

They believe in fostering connections, creating a positive impact, and empowering individuals to lead healthier, happier lives.

I talk about our friend and "camp host" while we are in NY. Since he is not on social media, you can not "look him up." So, here is a picture of him at the fair. He is the smiling guy in the print shirt! He is the Operations Manager for the Fair. He used to split that duty with Charlie, when we worked the fair every year. Charlie took care of the "upper side" and Jimmy took care of the "lower side." Which includes all the Grandstand events and fire and EMS coverage. His "big" event is the two nights of Demolition Derby. He is a very special friend to us and so many.

While we were at the fairgrounds, the kids were getting ready to show their calves and cows. I love to watch the little kids tug at the reins to get the animals to move. They are just too cute! The 4-H youth in Livingston County share and showcase the projects they've been working on at the Hemlock Fair. You can enjoy animal shows, the 4-H Livestock Auction, plant science projects, photography displays, public presentations, and more!

Later it was... "In my shop at the farm, near the fork lift are 2 buckets of bolts and nuts." They needed them to do some bleacher repairs at the fairgrounds. It is amazing to me that Jimmy knows where all this stuff is in his farm shop and shop at the house.

Our final run was... "Go into the shop at the house. There are some buckets with electrical stuff in them. We need a 50-amp female outlet." Sorry, Jimmy... not here. "OK, go to the shop at the farm...." We looked in several places he suggested and had no luck. I believe this is the first time that he thought he knew where something was and it wasn't... amazing!

The wind was wicked all day today and we had some rain off and on today. This evening the wind is still blowing, but that will make it some great sleeping weather with the windows open! Stay tuned for more Two Lane Adventures!
