Sycamore Arts and Craft Show: A Story of Being Blown Away

*We have switched our blog from Tumblr to Blogger.  This was a post we had previous made back in November 2010.*

Going to any kind of an event is a bit of a physical task.  You have to pack up product, tables, tents, chairs, display stands, and much more.  After it is all packed you then have to transport it to the event somehow, unload everything, and set up.  After the event is over you then have to pack everything back up (hopefully with a lot less product), load it into your vehicle and then take it home...where you get to unload everything, unpack it, and put it away.  Then take a nap for about three days and recover.

Over the weekend we went to the Sycamore Band Boosters Arts and Craft Show in Cincinnati, Ohio.  Fist off, we had to take a large truck and I was blown away by the simple fact that we didn't crash into anything the entire trip or run over any small children (although there was this one bump in a parking lot that was questionable).  Then, when we got to Sycamore High School about fifty band students came running up to us with trolleys yelling "I've got this one!  I'm helping this one!"  We get help?  We don't have to drag all of our stuff a million miles away?  WE ARE IN HEAVEN!!  In one trip we were able to get all of our stuff out of the truck and where it needed to be and we didn't even have to carry any of it!  Amazing!

During the show, we were doing our thing and suddenly another band kid came over and asked if we would like to order lunch.  They took our order and delivered our lunches to us!  Normally we would have to go one at a time and find our own food when we got hungry.  This was the best place on Earth!  They even made one of our meals vegetarian.

Guess what happened when the show was over...if you guessed that we had help loading up all our stuff and taking it back to the truck then you are totally correct.  This was for sure the least back breaking event we had ever gone to and it was so awesome!  If only they were all like that...
