Marlow and Corbin looking dapper at the North Carolina State Fair Village of Yesteryear. We took this picture early today before we got all messy making brooms. If you come to the NC State Fair stop in and say "Hi". We are in one of the bigger center spots, directly across the aisle from our usual spot.
