Going to Gold Rush in Oronoco every August is just a given. But it's becoming more of a tradition just to go than to actually expect to find something. This year it was a fabulous day weather-wise but overall was a little disappointing. Advertised as being open at 7:00 there were still a LOT of vendors that weren't open even by 7:30 and when there's that much ground to cover you don't really want to have to go back over the same territory! We went with $282 from our "Save Your $5 Bills" stash and came home with $211. Of the money we spent almost half of it was on breakfast, lunch and dessert. I told Jill we may be coming home empty handed but we're certainly full bellied. We saw a lot of stuff but as Jill's conscience I said 'no' enough times that we only ended up with a couple things for ourselves. There was one sign I thought was pretty cute....something for a public restroom.
Gentlemen: We aim to please. You aim, too, please.
Ladies: Please remain seated for the entire performance.

How do you end up with $282 out of $5 Bills? :)
You win the prize, Jon! After I wrote that I wondered if anyone would catch that. It's a MOSTLY $5 bill stash with some $2 ones in there and some change from when we stole from it for a good cause.
Well Jon beat me to the punch, but I was also wondering how 282 was a multiple of 5. BK
