Speechless Sundays - A Perfect Day for a Colorful Cocoa Beach Fall Fair!

The 46th annual Our Saviour's Fair was held on Oct. 15th, 16th and 17th this year. It's a tradition here in Cocoa Beach and a great place to find old friends you haven't seen in a while. Marla and I had their famous Kolbassa with sauerkraut and a grilled chicken shish-ka-bob. Of course, I washed it all down with an ice cold beer while making new freinds in the picnic area :-) There is a draw for $10,000 and we have 3 tickets so I'll let you know if we win!

After looking at your pictures John, it makes me want to be a kid again! I'm with Myrl, if I had a chance, old or not, I'd be in that crazy ball or upside down!

Patricia - I'm sure we all have fond memories of going to the fair as a kid. It's like being let loose in a candy store :-) That crazy ball seems like it's all the rage now.

Hi John, Looks like you had a great time at the Cocoa Beach Fair. But, I didn't see you on that Zipper after you had your Kolbassa, Shish-ka-bob and beer. LOL We've been having perfect weather for a weekend of fun like that one.

Al and Peggy - We never received the phone call telling us we won the 10K so I guess we'll have to try again next year. Oh well, back to work!

Sandy - The weather has been great and I love this time of year. No zipper for me - I'll keep my lunch where it belongs :-)
