Common Ground Fair

Common Ground Fair was something we grew up with, a tradition in our family when we were young. Our Mom worked with Fedco (the Federation of Cooperatives, who shipped food to a lot of coops around Maine) which was the parent of what is now Fedco Seeds and she would be working the Fair every year and we would often go and hang around, and I think we each had a chance to work night security. So I started in security work when I was 12. ;) If I remember correctly Fedco didn't just have a booth there, most of the members of Fedco were also members of MOFGA, which still is the organizing force of the Fair, so Fedco people were running around doing everything that needed doing.

Hawk didn't go along last year with Eor and myself, I don't recall why, and in fact he hadn't been since they left the old fairgrounds in Windsor, which was a LONG time ago, so he was ready and overdue for going.

Okay, I think that's almost everything. I'm almost as exhausted by telling the tale of the day as I was by living it. ;)
