More rain is predicted for Friday at Fair Hill, photo by Holly Covey
I’m the resident insomniac here at Eventing Nation. If you ask the right people there are some truly amazing stories out there about late night posts, if I do say so myself. Some nights are less amazing than others however and so here I sit after a quiet but fun dinner, answering emails and bringing you everything from Thursday at Fair Hill that we didn’t get to earlier.
Firstly, if you haven’t already, check out the Fair Hill blog. It’s a huge upgrade to the event and we welcome the folks at Fair Hill into the blogosphere. They included an EN shout-out today, so all the more reason to visit. [Fair Hill Blog]
Second, EN reader and good friend Holly Covey was kind enough to send us a few canded photographs from Thursday. Here’s a look at some of the action from around Fair Hill:
Holly attached a paragraph to this photo: “The volunteer tent has volunteers Tina, Pete (in her coat) and Joan. Joan is part of the local fire company auxiliary, and coordinates all the volunteers — a HUMONGOUS job. She will be in the tent at 5 — yes 5 am on Saturday to hand out badges and passes and get lunches organized. I doubt she will be able to leave until 7 or 8 on Sat. night. And she’s spent countless hours emailing ALL of the hundreds of volunteers to confirm tasks, in the weeks ahead of the event. She never gets to watch and never even sees a rider.”
Thank you Joan and all of the volunteers for your service at Fair Hill!
The Great One:
I’m not sure who has the better rain gear, David or Jimmy.
Awww!
Be sure to stop by and see my main man Eric at Devoucoux

That’s all for now. Visionaire will be along shortly with news and notes and until then go eventing.
