Remember when we went to the Springfield, Ohio Extravaganza?  And we brought home SEVERAL pieces?  Gahhhhhh.  That was the most fun we’ve had in a long time.  I’m not sure if I shared this, but we went on Friday, the day it opened.  Our tickets were good through the entire weekend.  The weather was absolutely […]
