Maxine and I have received the last two weeks of the P Star and have been watching the forum to see what the schedule was in case we get a chance to come. Gee I could only find it on the Kansas State web site. What is interesting is that, as much as we would love to see David. It is on Sunday night and we have to be home early.Also was is the indoor judging?

This afternoon a few of the fireman volunteered to bring the Jaws of Life equipment to the fairgrounds to demonstrate the use of it, by showing everyone how they cut a car up to get a person out after a car wreck.

Derek Cookson , Todd Wincher were the main cutters.  Helpers were Danny Signer, John Robertson, & Sam Oakleaf. ( and Lucy the mascot dog) 
This was very interesting and is really an asset to this community that we have this tool and the people who have learned to use it. Derek handed it to me and I couldn't hardly lift it! it is THAT heavy. I heard him tell Danny Signer afterwords," you hold this thing and cut a car down like we just did and it's a hell of a work out". By the sweat that was soaking them afterwards I believe it!
Would be a work out for me to  even get it up to the door to cut.

Afterwords ice cream was being served to a long line by our own Indy Gal...She and her helper was scooping as fast as they could... and looks to me like there wasn't anyone complaining about the job they were doing either. Yummy!

The kiddies got to play on all the blowup stuff. That looked like so much fun. If no one had of looked at me funny..I would have loved to be right on those with the kids sliding down.. 

Anyway.. hope you enjoy the pictures..
