Maybe.  It didn’t seem too busy when I went on Thursday, but I was there early and left before lunch. 

I liked the new categories Sustainability and Joy of Sharing, where the quilts aren’t judged.  I think we should enter that one, @Lowena . I was going to say next year, but you could do it next year and I could do it in 2028.   :laughing:

I enjoyed watching that. Thank you @Pearl

Feel a bit sad that I haven't been (again).
Part of me feels too idle to be bothered to go and the other part knows that if I go I'll buy even more stuff that I don't need which will just get stashed away with everything else.

Thank you @Pearl. It almost made me wish I'd gone after all - especially the stalls  0_0 but that was the next best thing.
So many beers, so little time.
