When I was a kid, vacations were rare, and summer consisted of two breaks in the monotony: swimming lessons and the county fair.
My memory of swimming lessons involves 50° water and near hypothermia.
My memory of the county fair is better.
So, to tell America’s Story from one of the iconic centers of Americana—a fair—was a great privilege and great fun!
I spoke from the Front Porch of the Sioux Empire Fairgrounds to a lunch crowd celebrating Ag Day.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to say hello and offer compliments, including Cassie, and Dale and his wife!
Libby and I want to thank the El Riad Chanters for singing during the performance—they sounded great!
Been to the fair yet?
Endless summer.
