Right now (the end of summer and beginning of fall that is August thru Oct. here) has really become my favorite time of year. One of the things I look forward to each year is going to our tiny county fairs. They are beyond quaint in a very fine way in that they are simple and feel like an event from another time. Yesterday I spent a good part of the afternoon strolling around the Wahkiakum County Fair in Skamokawa and taking it all in. I have long had the feeling that fairs are aimed more at kids, but I think I'm starting to change my mind.
Said it before, say it again, I do love the valley.
And while I don't have a picture to share of him, it was very nice to run into my old pal Bill Wagner of the Longview Daily News there. I've known Bill for quite a while and always enjoy talking with him. He actually shared a story about the first time we met, which I didn't remember, from like 13 years ago at a baseball playoff game in Kalama when I was a young, antisocial punk kid. Wags had some very encouraging words that I am very appreciative for and hope its not another year before running into him somewhere again!
