Today & tomorrow I am in Sumter, SC at the beautiful County Fairgrounds. We just finished up 3 one day stands in a row, so tomorrow I will, hopefully, get to sleep in a little(at least til 8ish.) Our first day here was a moderate success, with all the bleachers full of circus patrons. We also had to sit them on mats on the ground. This is what we call a strawhouse.
The first of our one day stands was Johnston, SC & it, once again, rained but we lucked out at showtime. The rain finally quit & the public turned out on a Wed. night to enjoy 2 spectacular Circus performances.
We left from there & drove a 100 miles to Santee, SC. It was so cold & windy, not to mention rainy,but even with foul weather, folks still braved the elements to see the performances.
After Santee, we journeyed 60 miles north to Lake City. Going north, we left the rain behind but not the wind. The wind was so strong that my satellite dish refused to cooperate & I was without TV all day. I learned something new while I was in Lake City though. It is the hometown of the late Dr. Ronald Mcnair, who was an astronaut on the Space Shuttle Challenger. I will never forget the Challenger as it met its end on my birthday. Hard to believe this year marked the 25th anniversary of this disaster. I was only in 8th grade. God bless their families.
It's been a long day so for now I'll say Good Night & see you down the road!
