Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Pretty Good Weekend-- Part 4-- Fair Diddley

Sunday, May 16th, we drove over to Woodstock, Illinois, for their 42nd annual Fair Diddley at the Historic Woodstock Town Square. This was the first time we had ever been. Each year, they block off the square and have over 300 arts and crafts vendors selling their wares. So many people come to it that they even have off-square parking at the McHenry County government offices with free shuttles.

We chose to park near the square and after some looking, found a spot a couple blocks away.

We had a beautiful day for it as well. I am happy to report that we didn't buy anything, although we came close to spending $25 on a Northern Illinois University item.

There were 325 vendors at this year's event and several places where you could buy food. My overall opinion was that the wares sold were a bit on the expensive side, but it is always fun to look at the creative things they come up with.

Some signs that I particularly liked were:

Life hasn't been the same since a house fell onto my sister.

No Matter How Bad Life Gets, At Least I'm Not a White Sox Fan.

Beware, Dog Can't Hold It's Liquor.

Thought for the Day: With aging, eventually you will reach the point where you start lying about your age and start bragging about it.
