So yesterday my work had set us up to work the wine festival at Tanglewood Park in Winston. Last year there were over 5000 people or something like that so we thought it would be a great way to advertise, etc. Peggy and I got there early in the morning to set up and were done by 930am. The festival did not open til 1130. We had a couple hours to kill so we walked around to all the other booths for a while and chatted and relaxed. Well.... 1130 hit and the flood gates opened. I have never in my life seen so many people all organized and rushing in to get a good spot for the event. Earlier in the week I had thought that our booth would be a great location. My thoughts changed very quickly once people came in. They all blocked us and you really could not distinguish our tent from the crowd. All of these people brought thier own huge tents and chairs along with food and wine. It was like a day of partying for them. I couldnt believe it! Lets just say that our day of working did not end up productive in our tent. We had to go out and talk to people around the place. By the time it was 3ish, people were hot, tierd, and had a few too many drinks. Around that time Brandon and Jeremy came to let me and Peggy go home. First they went around and tasted a few wines and when they came back Peggy and I were packing up to go.
Peggy went first to her car and then I did. When I got to my car, I had a flat tire! EK! Not exactly what I wanted to do after I was already hot, sweaty, and wearing a white shirt. I had to get Jeremy to help me because the lugnuts were on so tight I couldnt get them off. We fixed it with the spare and I was so grateful that I had put a pack of babywipes in my car about a year ago just in case. This was one of those just in case moments that it was needed for. Phew! We all parted ways and were off for the day.
By the time I got home, I was so tierd all I could do was take a nap. This morning I dropped my car off at the mechanics for a few hours so they could fix it. Thank goodness they were open today.
