Dusty and I made our first
venture to Florida and we couldn't have picked a better place to start than
the St. Lucie County Fair in beautiful Ft. Pierce, Florida. Thanks to
Fair Manager Jeanne Keaton for bringing the Old West to the Sunshine
State...and showing us a truly great time. We can't wait for the chance to
come back!

neighborhood dog when he gets back to California...
