Our little town is having its Fall Festival, and a friend of mine is staying on the fairgrounds all night as watchman. I will be going down about 9, and staying all night until about 8 in the morning. I did the same last night and will Saturday night too. I'll probably give it a quick check before I drive down before 9 tonight though. Here's what it looks like:
