A Great Outdoor Show This pass weekend's show at Fishersville, was a show you did not want to miss. I took Eric Johnson of Appomattox with me to the show. On the eighty mile ride to the show there was still a lot of snow on the ground. In some spots there was signs of spring. The roads were clear, the sun was shining, and we just knew it was going to be a good day. Eric and I talked a lot about the upcoming fishing season as we drove up there. As we pulled into the parking lot like every year the boy scouts are taking donations for parking. As we got closer Eric starts to laugh. I asked what's so funny? Then I knew why Eric was laughing. I always ask the boy scout what is a scout and then he would answer, a Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. The boy scout did not make a mistake and I gave a donation and we parked the car. We were able to walk right in and not wait in line.
