Before we get into the details of today’s gig, its definitely worth mentioning that I’ve been hearing about our upcoming trip to Defiance, OH constantly for the past week. Why? Because Jeff had noticed it on our list and made sure to bring his Defiance Ohio (band) T-shirt so he could take one very specific picture, as seen below… you’ll know the one.
Now, on to our day. We were a little slow leaving the hotel this morning, its been an active couple days and we needed the rest. The rain didn’t help, and as our gig today was outside it meant we didn’t have anywhere to go until it stopped. Luckily, the rain stopped right about check-out time and we headed off to the Defiance County Fair.
We got set up at lightening speed upon arrival, some good people working at the fair who were very helpful. A couple logistics had to be figured out but we nailed them down pretty quick and was excited to see how the day played out. For me personally I was really just glad to be doing an event outside.
Over the course of the day we played a LOT of yo-yo, did a bit a juggling, held a full on street show in the middle of the afternoon (had a good crowd too) and taught a few kids how to yo-yo. Wasn’t a top notch selling market for us (not the venue) but a good promotional market, and judging by the fact that kids kept on coming back to learn new tricks or watch us play around I’d say we definitely added to the fairs flair.
