WeePeats and Wrestling
this weekend is WeePeats and Wrestling and I was thinking it would be hard to have two more diverse groups at one time at the Fexpo Center. Then I remembered last winter when we had the gun show and the rabbit show both going on at the same time. you should have seen some of the eyes of the gun show people light up when they heard there was a rabbit show in the other building. For a while I thought it was going to be Haussenpfeffer (spelling?) for everyone! So I was wrong, WeePeats and Wrestling are not the
-
most
diverse groups we have had here.
The WeePeats show amazes me because of the amount of goods and people that come through here in a short period of time, and almost all done with volunteers. Last spring they had a line down the side of Minett Hall and over to the horse arena with people waiting to get in to the show. And wait they did, some people more than an hour! I don’t think I could wait that long to get into any event unless I was camping out and using “liquid stimulation” to keep warm and awake. I guess the deals on the children’s clothing, games, toys, and furniture must make it worth the wait.
The wrestling (NWA Upstate NY) amazes me for a different reason. The fans get into the show more than any other group at the Fexpo save for maybe the WBEE concerts, and the wrestling fans do not consume nearly the amount of alcohol that the country music fans do. To see the bodies flying around the ring and the fans yelling, screaming, and cheering it is easy to understand how people can get worked up and carried away with their favorite wrestlers.
All of this talk of kids and wrestlers is making me hungry. (Big surprise as basically anything like being awake or sleeping makes me hungry!) It is time for a great big bowl of Mean Al’s Homemade Chili, it is after all, tasty, spicy, and “knee deep to an armadillo!”
Until next time be safe and remember you can run, but you can’t hide!
