Not in the papers yet,but Bay News 9 is reporting a shooting death at the Chasco Fiesta.They are doing a good job so far of not insinuating that it was in any way related to the carnival.More along the lines of it being a drinking ,related incident along the parade route....We will see if they continue with this premise,or if this,like so many others do,try to twist it into a carny thing.
Got to give kudos to the lady in ticket box. I am getting wristbands for my wife and 3 kids.$20 each. ..$80..simple math .I give her a C-note,she does the wristbands,We head away,I hear thumping on plexiglass.She is holding up my $20 change.
Restored my faith in man(women)kind.I thanked her profusely even went back later on after the lines died down and thanked her again.
I probably would not have noticed the $20 had she not said something as it was very hectic up till that point.Didn't get her name but thanks again sweet lady....P.s. I am pretty sure it wasn't a committee person.She looked like a Carol Stream employee.
Finally.I have seen this show several times now ,but we usually leave before dark.Stayed a little later last night and I must say..what a beautiful show at night.Looks great during the day,don't get me wrong,but was really impressed with the lighting.Class show IMHO......................more to come Whac-A-Mole story,and talked to female ride jock for quite awhile .....jeff brown
