Back home, we have a small little Pacific, it's a Pacific County Fair, which is in Raymond, and something that, you know, something that made me proud is that we used to have carnival rides. Back in the day, and they stopped kind of when COVID happened, and then really this last year, actually, they were able to, one, get the funds to be able to bring back these rides, but having these rides brought out so many people that aren't able to go anywhere that have any type of carnival rides. And so seeing all the people out there and just being able to actually enjoy some of a normal fair type of thing, just brought, it's just joyful to see, especially all the little kids seeing all these rides and whatnot.
