Demonstration
We spent almost the entire day at the Nebraska State Fair – it was certainly worth the $2/person admission price!
This gentleman was hard at work, explaining over and over again the benefits of that hose nozzle. He didn’t seem to be especially bothered by the fact that not one person seemed to care, but you’d think that eventually it would get a little discouraging.
(I did kind of want to play with it, because it looked fun. But I also was pretty sure that I wouldn’t have been allowed to see just how far the water could shoot.)
