I was standing in the long line prior to opening the first day at Xenia. (My first time to "Dayton".) Struck up a conversation with a few people waiting near me. One of them knew the Greene County Fairgrounds. Suddenly he pointed to the area where the entrance gate was and said there used to be a line of tall trees there, but several years ago a set of tornados took them down. Now how eerie and - hopefully - not prophetic. Bob, KA2TQVKX3 #9842
