Local Storage Operator Celebrating Local Traditions

Every family has their own way of approaching the Fair. For mine, there's a nightly menu game plan. We'll need to make the annual growth measurement, illustrated not by the wooden ear of corn outside the round barn, but by setting a child in the rim of a tractor tire. (This used to be for our own children, but now it's graduated to our grandchildren's growth chart.) We make the rounds through the exhibits, check out the what local youth have been up to, finding names I can recognize from working with them in Youth Theatre and other former path crossings. And we have specific booths we make a point to visit to support local troupes.
