We're almost done with the day -- I'm just taking my prize and going home, right. I feel a little nip at my arm though on my way out and turn around.

Daria! Ya'll don't know her, but I do -- she's an older lady who I've gotten to work with or see in some plays over the past year. We hug a few times. Basically, her husband recognized me and she chased me down to see if it was really me. Daria's there as part of their Methodist church group to help them with their missions. Here lately, they've been selling candy apples to send people overseas like her husband who goes to Costa Rico every year alongside some other people. I'm not religious, but I had some Methodist leanings growing up and I sure like her and her husband...so I tell her if I see her again at her booth, I'll buy an apple. I'll be looking for them -- they're stationed right in my victory path.

She also shared something pretty cool about the power of the local fair: she met her husband at this fair years ago! He sold cotton candy for a Baptist church and she sold candy apples for a Methodist church...now they both sell candy apples for a Methodist church. We laughed about this carnival conversion. She also lamented about how there used to be a lot of churches that helped with these events, but now she thinks her church is the only one still doing so. I can understand that being something of a weird feeling after so many years of doing this.

Anyway, I walk my giant purple monkey back and there were a group of kids pointing and yelling "I want that monkey!" I tell them the fair's still open, which I don't know the kids or their parents appreciated. I probably should have just said thanks.
