Our local genealogy group (it's a club, but it sounds more serious to use "group") held a fair yesterday. As coordinator of the group, I coordinated the event as well, and our local historical society co-sponsored. They upgraded their WiFi and let us use the historic building for free, both very important elements. We had tables set up by country of origin (German, English, Irish, French/French-Canadian) and special interest (Jewish, Enslaved/slave holding, Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org).
I filled in for a man who had a death in the family at the Family Search table where I was kept quite busy. I helped a young woman find her grandmother's maiden name so that she could go further with her research. I had a long chat with a lady who had been adopted and hoped to find relatives via DNA. And an older lady who had some detailed questions about her Italian ancestors turned out to be the sister of our neighbor, four doors down. It's always a good feeling to help people, even just a little bit.
Some statewide organizations had literature tables with representatives, there were some displays from members, and we had a kids' table. I would say 15 of our members helped out and 35 people attended, which is five more than the 30 I said would make it a success. During clean up, people were saying they'd like to do it again, but, for me, every few years would be just fine. I will need to delegate more of the prep work next time! I was tired but happy when I got home, so we had chicken pot pies and applesauce for dinner, my go-to comfort food after a long day.

sounds like that was a busy event
Do you realize there's a 12 word phrase you can say to your partner... that will induce deep feelings of love and instinctual appeal for you deep within his chest?
That's because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that triggers a man's instinct to love, adore and care for you with his entire heart...
12 Words That Trigger A Man's Love Impulse
This instinct is so hardwired into a man's brain that it will make him try harder than before to take care of you.
As a matter of fact, triggering this all-powerful instinct is absolutely important to having the best ever relationship with your man that the second you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...
...You will soon find him expose his heart and soul to you in such a way he's never expressed before and he will perceive you as the one and only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly attracted him.
