Utah State Fair

I run the Flower Shows for The Utah State Fair.
They call it The Floriculture and Horticulture Department.
We have cut flowers, herbs, potted plants, and floral arraignments of fresh plants and flowers.

9-4-2014
Today is the first day of the Fair. We took in lots of flowers the 3rd from 6-9pm. One lady came late, I had her drop off her stuff, but would not let her enter anything. She came late last year and cost me time after closing, I am not doing that this year. I locked up and left at 9:45pm. She did this twice last year and I stayed till 10:30-11. I have been told no more, go by the rules. She came back this morning and filled out paperwork and entered her flowers.

I got to the building by 6:45am, it was locked. No one in the office. We were to start taking in flowers at 7am. By 7:20 our helpers were arriving .... One of them found an open door on an adjoining building and we got in our building. This let us know we did not shut our back door very well ! He just pulled it open, it is an interior door.

My niece Dolly Roy helped today. Every one agreed she was a big help. She helped the Judges and the entrants with their paperwork.

The day went very well. The show looks very good. I took some pictures. Some people who were involved last year have commented that the show is bigger than last year, and it is. We took in over 100 entry's. I had 11 judges and clerks, and we still made mistakes on the paper work !

The computer lady Stephanie never did find one guy, and my cash box did not balance !! It never does.

One lady came down out of the canyons from Coleville, long ways and was late, so we let her in, and another lady who comes in from the western part of the county by bus and trax train was later and I let her in to ... I know I said I wouldn't.

I left at 4pm, 7am to 4pm long day. Ate a Berry-Berry Crepe, really good, $8.00. Chocolate and Berries, yum. Chocolate helps an old lady thru these long days.

When Dolly shows me how to put pictures on this I will.
