This little snakey went to market...

Big Red the van pays a visit to the 401, and carries us all the way to Woodstock. We wouldn't call a parking lot outside the slots the most ideal of places to sleep, but we did make the best of our stay. The Agricultural grounds in Woodstock also double as a racetrack and a slots casino, and so after Ray and Lorna the organizers (such lovely people!) helped us get settled in we stopped to enjoy some harness racing. With $2 bets you can't go wrong, and although only Katrina won back a bit of her cashola we had a fun time. The display went well at the market, and we had a steady stream of people visiting us all morning

We all couldn't wait to wander off to our next stop for the day.... Cow.a.polooza. Moo! We doubled up a display with our show, and enjoyed a milking contest beside us. Our milk snake, Angus, especially had a super time ;) You can bet we didn't miss that photo-op either! The Beagles, a Beatles tribute band that couldn't be older than 15 was a tough act to follow, but we presented to a nice audience, and hung around afterwards for a hilarious busking show. Enough of the city though, onwards to Longpoint as we drift further East along Erie...
