Working at the Fair




Today in my first official appearance as a candidate for Granville Town Council, I worked the County Democratic Booth at the Washington County Fair. It was very busy, probably because today was sunny and the nicest day we've had in a long time. I met lots of people from Washington County, and even from far-flung counties like Columbia and Queens. It was HOT in the Commercial Building, but we got through it. Here I am at the end of my shift with Nicholas Silitch and Mary Todd. Earlier in the afternoon I worked with our town supervisor Rodger Hurley. At the conclusion of my shift I went to the horse ring, where I got to watch the Adirondack Cowgirls drill team do a performance. They practice at Burchland Farm in Hartford. They looked really sharp in their royal blue sequined blouses, and their horses performed very well. I was envious! Someday, maybe, my mare Sailor and I will work well enough together to try something like this.
