I am off to the Sioux Empire Fair for all week. I have been demonstrating scroll sawing at this fair for almost 10 years. I really enjoy showing the kids what it is all about and talking with the adults whether they are scrollers or not. I usually have 200-300 handouts of all kinds of animals, but because of my deteriorating eyesight, I haven't been able to stock up. I have 20-30 horses, dinosaurs, and other animals, so I may have to be selective as to who I give them to. I will probably concentrate on the 3-6 year old kids.
The weather promises to be very pleasant, which is good because we will be in a non-airconditioned building.

Best of luck and I hope you have a lot of fun!

Did scrollsaw demonstration also, at Indiana State Fair in Pioneer Building. It was on a treadle scrollsaw. I now appreciate flipping a switch, The scrollsaw had such a large blade in it, that when you came to the corner you literally had to "step on it". My legs were very swore after using this for a while.
Had lots of fun talking to crowd. We were all to be in period dress.
They had the steam powered tractor just outside our booth powering a large circular blade and they were cutting wood, and had it for sell. I resisted buying.
