We went to the Wilson County Fair this week. It is the best fair they have around here. Fairs here are not like what we have in Pa. This fair comes pretty close! We had lots of fun. Hope you enjoy the pictures and the videos.


Notice the name of the Church!

Melrose Church!
My parents lived in Melrose and we used to go to the
"Melrose Church" to listen to Ray Welch preach!


This will bring back memories to Norine & Joan! Possibly Graydon!




Inside the Church. People were playing instruments.
Were playing (What a Friend We Have In Jesus!)
Guess who that made me think of?



Look @ the kid in the seat!! Looks like she wants to run!! Like Frank is going to hit her with the paddle!!!
The Old School House!



Ma & Pa!!



Potty time!!



Old Time Gas Station!
(Notice me pumping gas!!)

Frank cranking the Model T


Watch the two videos below!!

TN is known for it's Cloggers! Good Ole Rocky Top TN!

I am waiting for Joan's comment on who she thinks I was reminded of when hearing "What a friend we have in Jesus." And also Graydon!! Then I will comment. Wow Norine how nice to see Billy Riker! Who takes care of him? He must be getting old! Love you guys!

Well, I remember Dad use to sing it a lot but not sure if that is who you were thinking. Very nice pictures. . On the Ma and Pa picture, if you enlarge it, your heads don't fit.!! You have 2 necks!! lol. and also notice the gas price they have on the gas pumps!

Now I find myself humming that song. But it is a wonderful song. Now that I think about it, us kids ,Me ,you and Norine sang it a few times at Scott Center!!

Ya, I remember singing it @ scott Center!! Remember we got to laughing and couldn't stop while singing? Who I was thinking about was "Irene Proudey!! They play chimes @ the VA in the morning and that is one song they play. I end up humming it all day long and thinking of Irene!! I noticed the two neck also!!! The person taking the picture should have said something!!!! I also remember Mom and Dad singing that sitting on the couch!! Love you!!!

Meatman said...

yes,I remember going to the Melrose Church. I have a picture of it someplace!

Linda Scafidi said...

Graydon,I got the picture via e-mail!!! Isn't it funny how close the picture @ the fair looked so much like the Melrose Church we remember?!!? That is a neat picture. I wonder who the people are and who owned that Model-T!! Thanks!

billy riker is in a group home in binghamton, fred the farmer that the rikers worked for left him enough money to be taken care of for life he is very happy and barb goes and gets him for the holidays so the family can spend time with him for the holidays, becky's kids see him then too and i guess albert and his woman go to see him in binghamton too.

i remember singing at scott center on sundays.

Actually Irene was the first one I thought of but didn't know if that was who you were thinking!!
