Last night my friend Lois and I went to the Beach Boys concert at the Ozark Empire Fair. It was a beautiful day for the fair and evening for the concert. We got to the fair about 3:30. We viewed some of the exhibits--quilts, clothing, cooking, flowers. It's hard for Lois to walk for a long time or stand for a period of 
time, so we moved rather slowly and didn't venture very far from the exhibit halls. We listened to some kids sing on the Kids' Zone stage. They weren't too bad. Then we watched Zaq and Dustin perform their show. We both laughed and laughed. They were good.

They were good.After visiting with Zaq and Susan and walking through the exhibits, we decided it was time to try some fair food. No, we didn't have a corn dog. We ate at the Beef House which is sponsored by the Cattlemen's Association. We had a ribeye steak sandwich. It wasn't too bad. I was afraid it might be tough but it wasn't.
There is a parade at 6:30 each evening so we found a bench 
and waited for the parade. That's Dustin leading the parade. We are both people watchers and had a good time visiting with people we knew from Bolivar. There were lots and lots of people wearing Hawaiian shirts. We figured it was in honor of the Beach Boys. And believe it or not, but people were decently dressed. We saw only a couple of outlandish outfits...and they were on people who should have known better!

We had good seats, pretty close to the center facing the stage and not too far back. It would have been nice to have been a little closer but I didn't want to be on the ground level and have to try to look around someone. The music was wonderful. All those old hits brought back lots of memories! Everyone clapped, swayed, and danced to the music. They just don't make music lik

more! It was a wonderful time! It took almost an hour to get out of the parking lot after the concert. We had talked about getting a funnel cake and waiting a while before we left but it was so crowded that we decided we would just go to the car and just have patience. I got home about 11:45 which I didn't think was bad. I don't usually go to bed before 12 or 12:30 any way, so I was doing pretty good. But I did fall asleep this afternoon when I got home from the library. I didn't even hear the garage door open when Charles came home. He scared me when he came upstairs!
