Hi local friends, Now that I have been called a Rivenista (thanks tim!), I feel compelled to provide some insider fashionista tips from the state fair again this year. Like last year, the best socks are still available--mohair socks--from Heim-Made. My own testimonial written on the side of a display crate is featured on their facebook page; they're located under the Grandstand toward the front.

Erin and I each came home with one and I think there are two left as of yesterday afternoon, both fairly large (enough bigger than 7 3/8 to not consider for the biggest noggin in our family). There were other fabrics too. Gretchen took a picture of Erin and I wearing them, but as of this writing it's not posted yet. Do not be deterred by the felt "flapper" hats in the facebook photos; these bike caps are about as dapper as they came--"pretty damn dapper" pipes up Erin. Locals, take a look.
