<VV> Virginia Vair Fair 2015

[George Jones]

Bryan, for those of us who couldn't make it to the event, thank you for the
summary. It sounds like it was a lot of fun. I've always enjoyed the Vair
Fair, and it's always so much better when the weather cooperates. Lookin
forward to seeing any pictures of the event.

George.
