We are in Saint Paul, Minnesota this weekend at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds. Friday was setup day – and when Karen arrived, Sue Rothamel from USArtQuest had a surprise for her . . .
She brought a big balloon to display in the booth, complete with music when you touch the button. Karen was thrilled – and then she had a “surprise” for Sue, who had misread the posts. It’s a boy . . .
Then my smart-aleck comeback set Sue to work with a magic marker – I guess we’ll know in 20 years or so whether little Scott ends up growing the facial hair . . .
We haven’t been here for a few years, but our “experienced” local helpers were back on the job – Jan and Leo Viktora and their daughter Kristina were all over the booth helping us put everything in place. Kristina brought her four-year-old son, Christopher. Of course we put him to work, too . . .
And he entertained us in the process. Christopher helped us bring shelves in, two at a time. And all of our kids have gotten two-wheeler rides back and forth to the truck. He also got a liftgate ride, but since I had a little trouble staying on a few weeks ago, I let Grandpa handle that one.
Kristina brought cartoons on the laptop for later in the day, but Christopher gets the credit for creating a good place to sit . . .
