It was great to be back at the Farm Chicks Show. Everyone knew us and seemed glad to have Country Living back. The show and the dealers have really great spirit. The show is small enough that you can get to know the dealers but big enough that there's always something new to see. We really liked the new vendor area in the park, where lots of talented women were selling everything from honey and handmade soap to lavender and jewelry. The show was packed, but it wasn't a big deal since everyone was so polite and patient. The turnout was sensational, especially since it poured on and off all day. Weather like that would have sunk most shows—the Farm Chicks loyal fans, however, couldn't have cared less; the rain didn't seem to faze anyone's spirits or their fun.
