So, what happened two years ago (and two weekends)? Well, it was the Elberta Sausage Festival. Now for those of you who aren't sure what that's all about, Elberta is a town with German Heritage. Kind of like those towns in Minnesota where my great-grandparents lived. To celebrate this, the town of Elberta has a festival. They serve sausages, lots of people come, and they call it the sausage festival. They have them twice a year, once in October and once in March.
Which means there have been four festivals since Kim and I came down here. But in an interesting twist of fate, this is the fifth Sausage Festival that I have attended. You see, that missing fifth festival is the weekend that Kim and I came down to interview with the Camp Dixie Board of Directors for the Director Position.
It seems like a long time ago. Believe it or not I even called in sick from my then-current job so I could come down. The funny thing is that I called in sick TWICE! We were working so many hours at the service center at that time, that we had mandatory Saturdays. I felt bad about doing that for a while, but I love this job, so I feel quite a bit better. Also the service center that I worked at has since closed, and the people there are either working at different places in Best Buy, or have moved on to new positions. No more feeling bad, because if I still worked there I would likely have to have been looking for a new job anyway.
So I just wanted to mark the occasion of my fifth Sausage Festival, and my two-years-since-I've-been-to-visit. It's truly been a great time, and I am looking forward to the future here at Camp Dixie.
See you at Camp!
