I've wrote before of how difficult it is to get fire trucks into a church parking lot when there's a mass on. It's even more of a challenge when one mass has ended and people are arriving for the next. Add a popular craft fair to the mix and things could get dicey. Of course, the greater the concentration of people in an area the better the chance for someone needing assistance - it seems to only happen when it's most difficult to get an engine through.
I was enjoying the craft fair at St. William yesterday, meeting people, shopping and picking up a hot turkey sandwich and some soup when I came across what I thought was a health demonstration. A person was lying on the gym floor being cared for by a nurse, but the scene so calm that I dismissed it as practice or something. Just seconds after the nurse confirmed to me that it was a demonstration, EMT's walked in and I knew right then something serious had happened - or this was one elaborate demonstration.
So I keep hearing the announcement that a Hyundai is illegally parked and can someone move it. Then they announce that it's blocking the fire truck. Someone must have run a plate check, because now they're announcing by name and they should get out there NOW!
Home now, my son asks if I saw his friend.
I don't know. Which booth was she at. Was she selling something? I saw just about all the displays.
She was helping out as needed. Didn't have a booth. She has dark curly hair and was there between ten and twelve. (Same time I was there.)
Sorry Nick, I don't recall.
Nick calls his friend when he gets home from a sleep-over. She was the one on the gym floor! She's fine.
