THE PRAIRIE PEDDLER--
An annual artsy-craftsy show

After 40 minutes of stop and go traffic for 2 miles Saturday as we drove toward this annual event in the weeds near Butler we encountered

another 30 minute delay while we stood in line to pay for our $6 admission tickets

which allowed us to join a a noisy, stepping-on-your-heels, crowd trying to travel every which direction--all at once--for the privilege of paying top dollar prices for mostly seasonal, trinkets.

As it turned out, a miles-long traffice jam and a caterpillar-paced ticket line wasn't the only place folks had to endure delays that day.


With a grateful nod to the true artists in residence at this event, Fogeyisms would prefer another jaunt somewhere on the Appalachian Trail--anywhere.
