Picnic in the showfield. by happypat

Picnic in the showfield.

Really tired tonight! We have got most of the physical work done today, trestles up & covered with white paper & draped with black skirts , muslin on the walls & staging set. Tomorrow we have to mark out with ribbon 35 squares measuring 2' 6'' for each floral art entry & then number up which means putting all the competitors number out , one for each exhibit. Here we are having our lunch in the field, there were twice as many but I forgot to get my camera out until we had finished eating . As you can see lovely weather !!
Hope the good weather continues it makes all the difference. I love going to these shows. I hope you find time to enjoy it

There is so much prep work that goes into a show! The weather looks beautiful...I hope that it continues to be that way throughout the event.

You must be shattered - the weather is doing you proud though - fingers crossed for the weekend. And get those flower arrangement sizes right or there will be trouble with those cut throat classes!!!

Great shot, it is so interesting to hear about all the work that goes into setting a show up - it must be lovely all working together to get it all sorted out. I used to love the team work needed as a archaeologist. I do miss that now I have a teamless job. I do volunteering to help out a parkruns so I try and help the events run well for everyone and get to be part of a team as well :-) Hope the weather stays good for you.

It all looks wonderful, and I hope the weather holds up. Don't worry about commenting till you're all caught up.

Sounds like a huge event! Love the peek into your life that you have captured here.

It doesn't seem such hard work if you are in good company I always find.

Many hands make light work for sure and more FUN!
