Welcome to CLIQUE!
I can trace my love of photography back three generations, to the early 1900s and my paternal great-grandfather, Henry Mattson. I have a really cool photo that he took of the old family homestead in Minnesota, sometime before 1910. According to family history, Grampa Mattson frequently took photos of his world - the people and places that he loved.
It warms my heart to know that this love of photography didn't skip any generations as it passed down to me! I am blessed to have such a legacy and I hope to pass it on to my own children and grandchildren some day.
I experience a physical and spiritual thrill whenever the Lord shows Himself in His marvelous creation around us and in the people I meet. My dream vacation would be to spend a year or two just traveling around the US, stopping at little out of the way places and photographing the interesting characters and the beauty of nature to be found along the way - those things that draw me closer to GOD and help point others to Him, too.
Gutter Topper of Alaska @ the Alaska State Fair
This year at our annual state fair, we rented booth space for the first time, to introduce a new product we have brought up to Alaska. It is a gutter protection system that is not only great for keeping debris and nests out of the roof gutters, but - and this is important in Alaska or anywhere that has snow - this product keeps the snow and ice off the gutters, preventing damage and greatly reducing the possibility of ice-damming under the roof, which results in those huge, dangerous icicles and/or leaking ceilings come spring thaw.I went out and helped Rog with our booth this past weekend and took a few shots, too. TFL!
This floral display is just inside the main gate to the fairgrounds...
You can tell this is early in the day - in just an hour or two, this walkway will be jam-packed!
My first view of our booth. We are sharing booth space (on our left) with a sweet older gentleman who is a land developer and is taking reservations on lots in a brand new subdivision out in the Valley. His name is Mel. That's him sitting in the corner of his booth.

It looks like it will be a good show for you. I hope you do well. The photos are very good. There is a real sense of the fair, from food to the walkway.
Ah, working a booth. I have done this many, many times. There are the plusses-meeting the other vendors, socializing with people you've just met...and the sore feet! I hope it goes really well!
