Art -

Now that's comparable to the time you said they took you t'other way from Winfield to Ark City to get boozed up, when they really drove ya' to Wellington - or maybe 'twas t'other way around. (I might have been a little boozed myself back then when we wuz both a bit younger.)

Lindsborg is about 120 miles (190 Km for the UKies) - generally north from Winfield. That's just about like a run into town fer a sody pop for some of 'em up there, but we'd need a little logistical management to get the townies to come down from the really remote places. Some of us "locals" ain't used to drivin' that far for casual purposes, but we could probably get up a crowd.

But if they moved it under the bleachers Bob wouldn't get his cut from all the crafters' booths, so we might have to come up with some alternatives for if the weather turns to "normal."

Since Lindsborg is kind of an "ethnic" settlement, we'd have to teach the church ladies at the fairground to make good 'tater pancakes, but that could probably be arranged.

The crafters could offer "themed" Dulcimers with checkerboard inlays, so beginners could play half a board under a tarp in the campgrounds maybe. I'm not sure we could get many of the guitar pickers to let us cut squares into the back of the Martins, but we could ask I guess.

Sounds like it has real possibilities though.
