| That may not be spelled right. I guess we are headed power there tomorrow. Can set up in the afternoon. Anybody here been there? Not too far east of the Missouri River, north of Omaha on 29 and then a bit east. Add said they have 500 vendors. Sounds like it must be similar in size to What Cheer's market. Thanks guys. Will be looking for AC toys. |

Well here we are set up. Only ran into 1 snag getting here. I29 north it told us to exit, road closed ahead. We got down to the stop sign, west bound took us to "gasp" ol shameless's burg. But we got around it, was able to get back on I29 and keep going. Was very disappointed when we got here. No vendors, but it has filled up now. Missed today's rain. Might be a good market. We are in the back area, red and white trailer, tv antenna on the east side and old gal whose mouth never stops.

| Gonna be here today and till 3:00 on sunday. Looks like a couple of food trailers moved in last evening. Hoping the coffee is great/ good/ decent. Shameless probably will not be able to head your way. Grandsons 4 wheeler is scheduled to come outta the motor shop monday morning. Its 40 miles from home and I gots the trailer pulling pickup here. He's a great kid and dont want to disappoint him. Boy what a beautiful morning to be sitting out here under the 1 star left shining in the sky. I'm sitting here just a few feet away from the only "john" in the area. Some of these sweet young things ain't so good looking this early in the AM. |

Say this place has turned into a real flea market. By 9.00 am the vendors were here setting up, the crowd has shown up. 1 in 200 people wearing mask. Gals "mantraps" are a lot better looking at 10:00 than they are at 6:00 am.

| Shameless. Believe me we looked and asked. We rode the golf cart all over that fairgrounds. We found 3 water hydrants on the whole grounds. None of them were near the livestock buildings. None were near us or handy. 1 was in the camp ground across the 6' tall steel fence. We were in the bathrooms and there were no showers. We did ask, we were told the showers were supposed to be installed and operational by the end of July. This was not a new fairgrounds, but somebody did not think about livestock water or people water. |
