The Bloody Barn Gang Visits...

...so no parade yesterday. The Franklin County Fair Parade was held yesterday afternoon in town but it was ungodly hot out with livestock warnings everywhere. I remember I almost passed out on Gato at the Humboldt Parade a few weeks ago and it was even HOTTER here yesterday.

I'm glad we didn't go. ...bummed that we don't have any cool pictures to share ..... but glad we didn't make ourselves sick trying to ride. Instead the girls both came over after they got off work and I made a pizza for us and we just visited in the cool house. :o)

I did have some excitement here on Monday ..... I had a group of people come from "The Bloody Barn" in southern Iowa drive up to pick up the last of my haunted house stuff. Brent, Sid, Summer, and Dale made the long road trip up here to load everything up. They put together a haunt down in Atlantic, IA and were happy to get the last remaining items I had left from "The Dragon's Eye Haunted Barn". They took one last trailer full .... gut stantions, dentist chair, skull shaker, castle walls, dead bodies, bones, misc body parts, bloody Barbies, old cemetary fence with skull toppers ..... and some misc skulls and other crap just laying around. That makes about 5 trailer fulls of halloween props that I've donated to various haunts in the state. I still have a few fun halloween items for little kids that I retained to bring to "Boo At The Zoo" in October. ...but for the most part, all the blood and guts, nasty scary stuff is all gone now. The end to a very fun part of my life. Lots of memories came from that scary Haunted Barn. If anybody out there is interested in visiting their haunt ..... click on

So now I'm working on getting ready for the Tama County Fair coming up on Saturday. Gato and I are doing 4 performances including a Trick Training Clinic/Demo. I've never done one of those before and am really looking forward to it. Gotta get my outfits and tack all ready to go. Hopefully it won't be so hot out there this weekend!!
