Justa side note, The Muster Saturday went off, although it was under threat of the Tropical storm Hannah there were less people in attendance, in general less apparatus being shown, quitea few vendors chose to stay home the ones who did for the most part packed up earlier then usual so lost a couple hours atmost, It was hot and humid and overcast But the rain held off till 3 pm which allowed a 88% kind of day.. all in all the vendors all said while they were never "swamped" like some years they were able to cover they're costs for the most part and most went home happy,.... Obviously It could have been MUCH worse far as the muster events went they were going strong when I left at my planned departure of 3 ish all in all hada good time as expected and saw many many of my buddies although Ikmissed a few too..
