Farm Technology Days are over. It didn't last long enough, only half the allotted time. Rain swamped the event halfway through day two. Too bad.
Tuesday I spoke in the Family Living tent about saving family stories. I followed the UW-Madison band, or at least a small portion of the band. They were good and loud.
The audience seemed to enjoy my stories and many came up to Bob and me afterwards. So very nice people.
I had been so nervous I didn't sleep the night before, but after I got up on stage I didn't feel nervous at all. I was looking forward to day two and my second talk.
On Wednesday clouds followed us to the event. I carried an umbrella to ward off rain, but that didn't help. About an hour before I was to go on, the announcement came that Farm Technology Days was closing because of bad weather.
Bob and I were near the exit so we left right away. We were out of the vender parking lot before most people even started for their cars. ... I felt bad that I wouldn't get to speak and then meet people afterwards. Hopefully my next event will not be interrupted by thunderstorms.
