Another weekend came and went and of course it was spent working..kind of. I was conned into working the South Eastern Wildlife Expo (SEWE) with Patrick. We got this gig through a friend of his who is in actually pretty important to Charleston. She is the lead coordinator for all the major events that take place at Marion Square; Food and Wine Festival, Fashion Week, Movies in the Park, and obviously SEWE. So after a ton of paper work and a piss test later, we were all set to work one entire day of manual labor. We were assigned to Brittlebank Park where the majority of the festival took place. Our task? We were in charge of recycling and food waste management, but no one used our supplied receptacles. So we just drove around in a golf cart, took in the days activities, and made friends with all the vendors. Pretty much it was hillbilly heaven and I was able to witness it first hand, and get paid! It was comparable to a state fair. A state fair that really loves hunting, fishing, and string music. They offered fly fishing demos, a speed boat simulator, and camper tours. The highlight for everyone is the dock dog competition. Overall it was a good day in the park. I left with a full belly of kettle corn and fried alligator.
Is that Chris Cox!! Sure is and he's showing off his chainsaw sculpting skills. I bet you didn't guess he would turn that log of wood into a perched pelican.
Holy grizzly bear! The left guy stood at an incredible 10 feet.
The dock dog competition. A true ESPN event. These pups can jump. The winner leaped a whopping 22 feet 7 inches!
