Alaska State Fair 9/6/15

We return once again to the world-renowned Alaska State Fair.... We finish up with the traditional barbecue at Casa de Bob W.
Downtown will afford you the easiest access to downtown sights to whittle away Saturday morning before the barbecue.
Thanks for bringing our attention to that.
The original intent was to cap the Do off on Sunday with the traditional BBQ, but then it seemed wise to have the BBQ on Saturday to give Bob W a chance to recover (and recover use of his house) on Sunday before going back to work. If he's off on Monday (it is Labor Day, after all), though, perhaps it would work out better to do the BBQ on Sunday? It would mean the fair might be more enjoyable if we're not all hung over while visiting it.
Some folks may have already booked tickets back out of state on Sunday, though, so I don't want to make changes that would eliminate anyone's participation in the BBQ. (Anyone who's flying out Saturday night/Sunday and doesn't want to miss the BBQ, let us know.)
The organizers will confer and update anything that needs updating, but for now, assume the schedule stays as posted.
