During set-up
Going to the Laundromat was another experience in itself
too! It started pouring while we were inside and it ended up being so much rain
that it reached the bumpers of the cars outside. Waiting time for it to stop or
at least slow down was a whole hour.
Sunset one night
Carnival
The Blueberry festival was kind of fun and really big. You
would pass hundreds of stalls walking down the midway – and there were a lot of
blueberry stuff (of course!). A lot of my job involves managing ticket sellers
and working with the tickets and since
we only had two ticket booths operating, they put me in foods (the Sugar Babes)
two days out of the five we were there; the one day was just half a day
basically. It was fun at that moment, but at the end of the day my feet were
saying ‘hell no!’ There’s always good and bad in every job I guess and I’m glad
I got to experience that. (I must include I have worked in food at two other
spots before, but it wasn’t ten hours straight). And sure enough that night I
dreamt about blue raspberry snow cones!

After the five days at the spot, we tore down the rides and
everything and without getting any sleep, drove four hours to Sandwich,
Illinois.
