Picked up Eber Baker beans at Youngs who took them home last night. Took them to cabin at Fair. Helen Geyer & Helen Clingenpeel volunteers not interested in giving out samples. Mrs. Chambers had moved her baked goods table even with the door leaving little room for people without blocking door.
Helen Kaufman picked me up in front of mother’s house & we arrived at John Green Cemetery about 11:50. Tool video shots & got Charlton reading Declaration of Independence. Taped present day James McClain in fron of his War of 1812 ancestor – also James McClain and then found his wife is Ruth Hemmerly McClain – daughter of Harold, son of Henry son of Conrad Jr – son of Conrad & Margaret the immigrants.

Stopped at Fair & picked up bean crock pot. Home & retreated to my air conditioned bedroom. Watered some late evening.
