Currently I am working Fri. My day ends at noon though, so I should be there by 3pm Fri. It could end up like Findlay, and they might say "take Thurs and Fri off" at 3pm on Wed!
 
Don't laugh, but I am debating bringing the lawnmower again. (not the "mow-ron" mower, . . . a real push lawnmower / grass cutter)

I remember last year everyone got a big laugh at it, but I had several people privately thank me afterward.

My contentions are:
  • It keeps the area cooler because the taller grass holds in moisture which turns to humidity when the sun comes out.
  • It keeps the mosquitos and other pests away.
  • It is easier to find small items if you happen to drop them.
What do y'all think? Bring it, or not necessary?

Yes, and could you bring a roto-tiller too. We can plant both vegetables and flowers. It would really pretty up the rally area. I love fresh corn on the cob.

seriously, yes

That's very generous of him doc....Thanks from me

And Jeff, it was a great addition having the grass mowed last year where the tents were getting set up. I vote for bringing it again [thumbzup]

That sounds like a great idea !

I think the exhaust from my truck alone should keep the mosquitos away
