The weather has cooled a bit with high in the 60's and lows in the low 40's but the sun seems to always shine and warms things up, however it has been quite breezy.
Our photos were taken here at the Pinal County Fairgrounds. This photo shows a group of buildings that are used for various things. All of the buildings are painted in various motifs. Some in a western theme and others in under water views of various fishes. All very tastefully done. During the Gypsy Journal Rally they are used for seminars and group gatherings, etc. There is a much larger building where all gather for meetings and orientation and just generally have fun.
We will be here in January for the Fiddlers Jam and I am sure these facilities will be used for different groups. It will be interesting to see how they are utilized.
The photo below is of a building that appears to be a beer dispensing operation. I am not sure how it is used during the County Fair, but I am assume it will be closed during that time. This is a very large facility that can handle up to 700 RV's, they say. We have seen as many as 250+ units here last year and
there is lots of room to spare, so I do not doubt as many as 700 could be accommodated. I am not sure about power for that many units, I remember they had some problems with 250+ units last year. Probably many would be boon docking which is not unusual for seasoned RV'ers.
We will leave the fairgrounds tomorrow and go to Mesa to visit our friend Nancy Burkhart. We will be in the area for some time until we come back to the fairgrounds for the Fiddlers Jam and Car Show in January.
