They have us come at certain times. I always get stuck at the earliest time. Up at 6:00 AM again and head out. Might be the last time, we'll see.

I sorta wish we did. I set up 2 pop ups and 3 tables. Saturday was sorta bad with sprinkles off and on most of the day. Sales wise, it was the best day we ever had at covered Bridge. Today was a little better, no sprinkles. Todays sales were $50.00 less than yesterday. So Two great sales days. The only problem was the gal to the south of me. She started up a very loud generator and let the darn thing run wide open for two days. The folks between us were able to move, but I had to stay there and grin and bare it. Was glad to get home. I had me Serries 4 hat on and got to talk to a lot of AC fans. Plummer Scan stopped buy along with quite a few more. One couple wanted to know the secret to putting brakes on their WD 45. It's been 40+ years since I put brakes on dads so I wasn't o lot of help to them. It was a good but busy and tiring time.

Dale, Roseman Covered Bridge is only 1 mile from my house. If you ever make it over, I'll give you a personal tour. Remember Roseman bridge is supposed to be haunted. So you better show up about 1:00 in the afternoon. The storie is,. A prisoner escaped from Jail, ,I don't know if it was from Winterset or Macksburgs jail. The possie chased him into the bridge and surrounded the bridge. When the possie entered the bridge, the prisoner was nowhere to be found. No holes were in the bridge, the possie lit torches but he was nowhere to be found. He was never seen again.

Id never been to the festival before in spite of hunting at my sister's place near there year after year. Tom, it was great talking to you. Glad I took time out to do so. Can't wait to give those honey products a try.
