While he took his test I was going to visit with a friend of mine from the Muskegon FD, we went to inspector school together at the State Police Academy. We were riding along, talking very serious about the upcoming test and him being nervous as we approached Edmore. It seems like we were coming up a slight hill and when we came around a curve right on the side of the road was a huge ELEPHANT! In Edmore! We first gasped, I remember we looked at each other and then laughed and laughed. Apparently there was a circus in town. We talk about our trip whenever we see each other. Good luck at the show! If you see a blond (probably carrying a bag of goodies she bought) with two little short friends walking around aimlessly with stars in her eye, drooling over the quilts - that's me!
My husband and I are always saying, "you never know what you will see in Edmore" but I didn't think it included an elephant. I really enjoyed your story and I hope your friend passed his test. I will look for you Thursday.

It is designed by Bea Olgleby, created by myself and quilted by my husband of K & D Creations. Hope to see you there.
Well I didn't win but I truly appreciated all your kind comments. See you in GR.
