One busy day. Two busy days. I am counting down until the busy days fade into the sunset and I can get back to my lazy schedule of writing and a little volunteering.
In the meantime I just came from a meeting where we tried to second guess all the security issues of having a day at the airport with a famous speaker flying in and an unknown number of small planes expected to follow tomorrow so they can hear him. At the same time the Air National Guard is sending planes to our celebration for people to look at and the Young Eagles are providing free helicopter and airplane rides for children 8-18. The Kiwanis are cooking their pancake and sausage breakfast before we begin and there are face painters, balloon artists and games to set up before we open our planes and station people who can answer questions from curious visitors.
I will actually be inside selling souvenirs at the exit since I am the newest member and that is fine with me. Today I worked with our board member in charge of buying these things, shamelessly playing with them and deciding how to display them to entice the youngsters and their parents into buying them. Instead of arranging flowers, I put my skills to work arranging little windmills. I probably won't go back until 8 AM, but there are people who will be there by 4:30 AM and I don't envy them.
The day will pass quickly and I am sure I will enjoy the people, but a big part of me would rather avoid the crowds at all costs and stay home. I'm just not a big event person, but it takes the big events to support the museum the rest of the year.
