I got to the field at about 6:30 and there are those huge Hollywood type
spot lights criss crossing the sky, there must be a dozen of them.
The temp is already warm and friendly, they have the entire field groomed
really low, it looks a lot like a golf green, with diagonal cut lines in the
grass.
The tent is glowing in the morning dark like a huge flying saucer from
outer space and I can hear thermal duration music coming from the tent....but
its the smell that is most amazing!
They have flown in chef's from as far away as Tullahoma who have sort of an
Iron Chef set up going making all sorts of omlets, the waffles look so
crispy that you can hear them crunch just looking at them. One table has a
multiple selection of just syrups, warming above Sterno cans.
JoJo sent some maple syrup that he personal drained from a rare maple
specie only found near his home in Norway, and the line is forming in front of
it. Kind of hard to describe the flavor but I heard one of the Chicago
guys say it reminded him of gorgeous Egyptian belly dancers.
The vendors have all the latest new contest ships on display, I am not
talking old crap like Supras, Perfects and Espada's, I mean new designs not yet
named, and I have to tell you, soaring is gonna get knocked on its butt,when
this new turn in designs is released!
