It all begins next Friday. For ten days, The Bedford Fall Fair will be in business. The whole town is taken over with the fair. Vendors are everywhere and on every street. The place is full of people and food and fun. It is so big that you can almost not walk the whole thing. Tammy and the children love it. Tammy's parents run a farmers market so Tammy sells her vegetables and her baked goods at her parent's booth. This morning she was busy makings gobs, hundreds of gobs. They are like large cookies with a baked bottom and top and icing in the middle. People love them. So far she has made five hundred, but by Friday she will have made two thousand. They sell for two dollars each.
She also had made hundreds of small banana loaves, all stacked in boxes ready for the fair. They are all wrapped in paper and look very home made but neat. Ken and I were wondering what it costs her to bake the gobs and the bread, but I am sure she does not know. They tend to pay no attention to the cost of their labor. She loves the whole atmosphere of the fair and she knows that all she earns is profit, at least in her mind.
We will not be there, because we will be in Texas. In years past we have attended the Fair and enjoyed it but we are rather pleased that we will not be here. Too many people in too small a space for us to really be happy. But we wish them well. I am sure Tammy will sell out of all her baked goods.
