The Walnut Valley Mercantile Is Open That’s right The Mercantile is open and it has CDs,
Videos, and Books for sale. The Mercantile is located in
the building located just west of the grandstand. It sells entertainers music items for them and there is no charge
for this service. This would be a good place to get a
Christmas or birthday gift for that special friend or relative. The entertainers bring their merchandise to The
Mercantile where it is on display and for sale. These
same CDs/Tapes are available after each entertainer’s
set. In The Mercantile you will find there are some excellent sales. No T-Shirts are sold in The Mercantile.
The T-Shirts area available from the Art Farm in the
south end of the same building.
RECYCLE-RECYCLE-RECYCLE The Festival is asking that each of us festival goers help
with the recycling efforts. At each Port-A-Potty there are three containers; one for cans, one for glass and one
for plastic. Won’t you help save our environment?

Port-A-Potty Etiquette – While your Voice Editor
was out playing paperboy, a visit was made to Camp Nowhere out west on 14
th Avenue. After a brief chat,
one of the ladies suggested I write a column on the
above. Her first comment was “Tell the men not to ---
on the seat.” Well the suggestions went on from there. “Women, don’t use the urinal as a purse holder,” “Men
and Women, please put the seat and cover down when
finished,” “Knock first before entering as the person may not have locked the door after going in.” This same nice
lady then told me that in California they don’t call them
Port-A-Potties, they’re called, get this, “EXPERIENCE
Chambers” as that is where one goes to have an “out of
body experience.” Perhaps we all could observe a little
more “Port-A-Potty” Etiquette.

Like Fried Pickles? Well if you do, then head to Camp Super Pickle over on
the east side by the Horse Barns, The Ice House &
Under the Son RV & Camping Supplies. There you will find Camp Super Pickle and on Friday evening at 6:00
PM they will be frying up all kinds of pickles. Boy are
they GOOD! I’ll be there, will YOU?
Men In Wood – As I was strolling in the east
campgrounds just north of 14th Avenue, I came across
two ladies who were feverishly working away in their camp, Camp No BS. One was stitching what looked like
patches onto something and the other was working on a
short log of wood. Nancy Parrot from
Chanute, KS had
her brushes and paints and some
clay out. On this
stump of wood she
had shaped what looked like the face
of an old man.
When I asked about it, she told me she
had been doing something like this each year for the last
four or five years. Nancy calls them “Men In Wood.”
Each one she has created these last few years is unique as she sees a “different man” in each stump of wood.
When I asked what she does with the “Man In Wood,”
she said she gives it away. Nancy turned to me and said, “Would you like this one?” I immediately
responded with a
resounding YES! I asked why she
didn’t sell them and
she told me that she
tells whoever gets the “Man In Wood”
to make a donation
to their favorite charity. I certainly
will do that and I
look forward to having that piece of
art in my home.
Stop by Camp No BS and you can view Nancy’s work.
