Joanna;
Any word on how attendance was this weekend?  It looked like you had a LOT of vendors at the courthouse lawn, and even though I didn't make it to walk around (sitting at the Fitness center open house), it always looked like quite a crowd of people when I drove by!
Once you're done recuperating, give us the scoop!

Tobina, I think the turnout was really nice, and we couldn't have ordered up better weather if we'd had an option.  Benji is writing up a story for the paper with all the totals, winners, thank yous, etc... hopefully he'll send it on and i can share it here too.
