Thank you for stopping in the Maker's Market. I'm in there with my baked goods (sugar cookies, cake pops) I hoped you stopped by. My prices are my same every day prices, not fair prices. So 2 cake pops for $5, 2 cookies for $7. I'm sorry outside wasn't your expectation, but I want to thank you again for stopping by to support us 18 vendors in the Maker's Market.

I enjoyed the quilt presentations to nominated Veterans. Dignitaries we’re in attendance and it was a very nice event. The rest of the Fair was very disappointing. Not we’ll attended while I was there. Traditionally, opening days is kids’ day and the kids get in free - in Tulare, it’s a school holiday. The Fair Board changed it to Thursday this year - why I don’t know. so if kids attended, their parents or grandparents had to pay for it. Some of these adults took a day off work to take the kids to the Fair. The Tulare Makers Market was not very big at all, maybe 10 vendors. Food was a joke - the cinnamon roll place was not even open, and food prices were very high. That was my last Tulare Fair. I went to the Fair today.
