August 23rd started out on a promising note.  It was the day MB was slated to participate in the Green Aware Fair in Loma Rica CA.  It's about 3 hours from home according to Google.  So I set my alarm accordingly, got up and ready, popped an audio book into the car CD player and was on my way.

All went well for about 2 and a half hours.  Then my directions no longer had much to do with the streets I  came across while driving.  Hmmm.  After trying every which way I could think of and watching my buffer hour evaporate, I called home to ask Mark to look on the event website for a contact phone number.  He found one and I called and discovered that I'd driven right past it 20 minutes earlier, but that I wasn't far and setting up late wouldn't be a problem.  Whew!

It was the smallest event that MB has ever participated in.  I'd missed it earlier because it was in the organizer's backyard.  Their yard could easily have held 3 - maybe 4 - of my house ...

So this was the first show of what the organizer hopes to make into an annual event.  She plans to focus on education and schedule lots of seminars and demonstrations and classes.  Green vendors are welcome, too.  And MB

So I got there late and got all set up and headed across the yard to use the portable facilities.  Didn't get but halfway across the yard when a wasp stung the top of my foot, right next to the toe strap on my sandals.  Ouch!  Not the most fun thing ever!

The event was very slow, but that was not necessarily a bad thing.  Instead, it meant that I could take a look at what the vendors had to offer, and to chat with one that I'd had on my list of companies to contact about possibly sponsoring or partnering with MB.  The company rep at the event seemed receptive

And that was my day
