the music, the dress, the excitement, everything that was associated with the opening of a new territory. It took everybody out of their own little world.

These sunglasses are so popular now that you cannot swing a canvas bag at a farmer's market without hitting a pair. In fact, at outdoor gatherings you should count the number of Wayfarers so you can determine exactly how white the event is. If you see no Wayfarers you are either at a country music concert or you are indoors. #Quote by Christian Lander
