9-7-09

Today was the last day of the fair! Macho Man loaded up in the van, he didn't quite understand it was the last day but he was a good boy and loaded right up.

Upon arriving at the fair he hopped out ready to go to work.

The labor day holiday definitely brought out crowds. Tawnee and Jason took turns talking to people, they are both glad that it was the last day they won't have to sit on the hard little chair breathing the ever present dust.

Macho Man couldn't believe his eyes, he very well may have thought he was having double vision. But no, instead they were cute little twins dressed in identical dresses!

Macho Man got a good laugh out of his confusion once it all cleared up for him.

A goat from the neighbouring petting zoo came over to say "Hi." Macho Man was quick to make his introduction before getting back to dreaming about Dottie.

There was a lot of dust floating through the air today, it was quite gagging at times.

If any of you have ever wondered what "orbs" are in pictures, it's simply dust particles reflecting the flash from a camera.

After Ranch Land closed the booth was torn down. It was quite empty looking, but once again, we are all glad that the fair is over!

185 buttons were sold today, making the total right about 2088 buttons sold at the fair! This almost doubled the number of buttons sold. What a long fair it has been, but the numbers add up that it was definitely financially successful.

Today was the start of the California State Fair, and the minis are going to be visiting the state fair at our booth as much as possible. Upon arrival at the fair Macho Man and Dottie easily unloaded.
Soon the throngs of kids and adults were getting their daily dose of smiles by visiting the minis.

This little girl just has the hugest smile!!!

Macho kept putting his head on the table saying saying "How many have I sold now?" He really loves interacting with people and kids.

When it was time to go Tawnee led the minis to the waiting van.

The loaded up and are traveling in air conditioned comfort!

We sold 150 buttons today. A long shot from the goal of 500,000, but every button sold is that much closer to the goal!
