12:55-So we were a little bored so we had a can of 7up that a bee went into so we put some milk in there to drown it then we put the plastic cup over the pop can and smashed it with my foot. The milk went flying out and hit Alyson on the leg. Monica got it on video so I'll have it on facebook eventually.
10:30-So my lanyard that I switched with Nancy on Tuesday broke today when the connecting pieces broke off so I am now using my lanyard and badge from last year. The cookies are still there. We have eaten enough to close the bucket. I'm getting sick of them already.
9:15-Monica has returned with cookies and we have commenced with the eating them.
6:40-The lots are even fuller today with the new animals coming in last night. Could barely find a place to park. Today is sweets day so that means we are getting a bucket of Sweet Martha's cookies. Tomorrow is retro day, where we wear old shirts, and Sunday will be team photo day.

State Fair Blog: Day 10, Fair Day 8
1:20-Its changeover day at 2 so it's pretty quiet down here. Hitler paid us a visit a d said sone things to Gene and left. The big bosses are down here now so i'm hiding. I might get out early since the party happens at 2
10:30-Another slow day. Had a omlete from Hansens for breakfast. Pretty good. Came with hashbrowns and a donut. Just sitting in my car listening to the Love Civenant on KFAN. Nancy is out with us today. I believe this is her last work day. Might have more later.
6:15-Lots B&C are packed with the rodeo people trailers. Lot A is pretty packed with campers now. So it should be a laid back day. I still have a bitter taste in my mouth from yesterdays Twins game. I really hope they can get back on the horse after that.

State Fair Blog: Day 9, Fair Day 7
10:50-Rodeo people are coming in now. Hitler got out in the street to yell at bikers and I was tempted to yell back and say go back into Berlin. Having another Steichens sandwich today. They are good.
9:00-Conflict is everywhere for team legendary today. Monica and Alyson are arguing over their cat and it doesn't look like it will let up anytime soon. The High School Rodeo will be rolling in around 10 so I should have some more updates then I did yesterday. It looks like it will be another nice day.

State Fair Blog: Work Day 8, Fair Day 6
Sorry I never got back to this today. Nothing big happened so i didnt see the need to post.
8:25-My genius self decided to lock the doors to my car as I got out and upon shutting it I realized my keys were still in there. So the mechanic came down and took all of 20 seconds to open it back up. So it's good now. Nothing to be worried about.
7:20-Nancy is here today for Alyson, who had a work thing. It's still pretty cold in the morning. It looks like it will be another slow day.

State Fair Blog: Day 7, Fair Day 5
2:40-Sorry, forgot to blog when i left. It was a pretty dead day today. Just alot of trailers coming in and out of the barns as they unload. Had a sandwich from Steichens which was very good. Tomorrow Nancy will be there as Alyson will be gone again.
8:40-The lot was empty so Gene took advantage of that by leveling the dirt in the back part of lot b so that when it rains it's less muddy. He's on top of things today
6:25-Another cold morning here. The new animals are coming in now. It's gonna be a slow day so updates might be on the lighter side today.

State Fair Blog: Work Day 6, Fair Day 4
10:30-So after a long day at the fair I have finally come home. Zach and Liz came and hung out at the fair with me. Had some oig lickers, cheese curds, tired a deep fried oreo, and a chocolate malt. Walked around a good chunk of the fair today as well. Tomorrow the new animals come in. Hopefully the cops are less of jerks then they were today.
1:25-In a previous blog post I noted a site that leaked the Wilf's third jersey. They were right. Amidst chants of "Boogey!" Derek Boogaard unveiled the new green wild jersey. The crowd filled the street and limited the passer byers to just one lane as we watched another big wild moment this summer. New Wild clothing with the jersey design on it was going faster than Marian Gaborik hit the injury list in a season. Personally I love this jersey. It is designed after the 2004 Western All Stars Jersey which was played here and this will again be a big hit. I will get a picture of the jersey and the bat later on today. I'll post once more as we leave.
12:00-The day has been quiet. It will pick up at 2 o'clock when the animals changeover. I am heading in to see the wild unveil their third jersey at 12:30. I'll have another post when I return.
9:30-So upon coming down to the gate arm, Alyson was picking up some trash and we came across a cardboard box that had a injured bat, which was named Bart. We tried to help him, but he kept trying to fly away so we gave up. He ended up under a pickup truck where he remains now. We always joke about seeing bats but we never thought we'd see one.
8:40-We have not yet got our daily newspaper so Alyson is in the fair trying to get one. Everyone is pounding the coffee this morning due to the cold and tiredness. We have decided that at some point today everyone gets a 30 minute nap. Attendance this year is up. Thursday had 114,439 people come out here, a 10,465 Person increase from 2008 and Friday had 124,991, which was a 38,463 person increase from 08. Yesterdays attendance does not come out until noon. Mrs Hitler is out on her golf cart. I'm ready to take her on today if the situation calls for it.
6:15-Team Legendary is here physically this morning, but mentally...not so much. Everyone had a late night yesterday so we are very tired. It's colder this morning because your breath can becseen now.

State Fair Blog: Work Day 5, Fair Day 3
2:00-We played some games cause the day wad a slow one. No interactions with Mrs. Hitler today (yay!!!). Didn't go in for food today, but Alyson had a fry bread taco which is apparently good. I might try that tomorrow. Tomorrow the Wild unveil their third jersey here at 12:30 so I will go in for that and I will have updates as well. Second shift is here so Team Legendary will adjourn until 6 AM tomorrow. Later.
11:45-So our gate arm has been getting stuck lately so our good friends, the carpenters, paid us a visit earlier and we told them about our problem. They just came and fixed it for us now. All they did was put 20 screws in the base and it was fixed. They make it look so easy. We are now going to play some games that Monica is making up so I might have to go for a walk now.
10:20-We totaled the scores from yesterdays crossword puzzle and Alyson defeated Monica 4-3. I finished last with 0 correct answers. Let's play this like golf, lowest score wins.
9:30-We have moved to the barricade now. There is slot of shade down here so it's cold still. We are working on our team competition: the crossword puzzle challenge. It's quite hard today. Monica won the crossword challenge on Thursday by 4 points.
7:20-Mrs. Hitler is on the move mow. She glared over towards me and suddenly I felt darkness come over to this side of Canfield. We are all bundled up due to the cold and all the farmers look at us like we are crazy. The sun is making it's way up over the swine barn so hopefully we can get some heat. The Team Legendary logo is here today and we all love it. I'll upload a picture of it later or you can check it out under the state fair album on my facebook. Our water cooler isn't here today and it might not come because there is a shortage of water coolers here. Gene is on the run trying to get one for us. Hopefully he does. Alyson and Monica had the question of the day when they asked if both male and female cows have udders? Gene replied with do both male and female people have udders and hopefully you wouldn't pull on the wrong cow. Haha
6:30-Good Morning. It's so freaking cold this morning. Everyone is all bundled up except the farmers who are still wearing shirts and shorts. Alyson is back today. No injury for me yet today. Mrs Hitler has not yet appeared this morning (thank god). This should be a interesting day.
