Yikes, Trying to cover up painting and art so it didnt get wet and we had a great waterproof set up too. But when it rains like that nothing will stop it. It sounds like you have some wonderful customers who still braved the storm and how could it not be a great show with Maddie there.

I bet Maddie thought she had the world on a string with all those folks to cuddle. SHE IS TOO CUTE! We have looked at Haverneese near here & can't find them colored like Maddie. I may have to get your breeders info. Can't wait to see the new photos. Off to see Diane & Allen. Can't wait. We'll think of you & Diana. HUGS!

This isn't one of the 'big ones" and it doesn't get me to Europe but I do really well. I still have people show up in pouring rain and I make about eighty percent of what I would make if it weren't pouring. We all huddle in the tent and drink lots of hot coffee!<br /><br />I am so glad to read this.It just reinforces what this is all about, which isn't about money, thought that is a very nice side benefit ;-) <br /><br />I am so glad Maddie got to go and I can't wait to see more pictures. She is just adorable!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />SuzKateyedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368144927684071127noreply@blogger.com
