It was a busy week, this past week. And our week in the newspaper biz is not Sunday to Saturday, but actually Friday to Thursday.

We start covering things on Friday, and by Thursday we are putting that week’s issue together.

So this past week, starting on Friday, Nov. 11, was a doozy.

It was the first time I can remember a time that I covered four events in one day, and then followed it up with four meetings in one night, three days later.

The only time that comes close to that is covering the Faribault County Fair, where three of us spend a lot of time taking a lot of photos.

You might be wondering what all those events and meetings were. Well, if you look closely at this week’s Register, you can probably figure it out.

But just in case, here is a run down of all of them, along with a brief, little interesting tidbit about each one.

Friday, Nov. 10, had a lot of things going on, and was not a normal Friday for us. We actually put the Register together on Wednesday, mainly because we wanted to get it out early as Saturday was Veterans Day and there was no mail.

Perhaps you noticed you received your Register a day early, on Friday of last week. That won’t happen every week.

My first event to go to on Friday was the Veterans Day Program in Winnebago. All the area towns were having their Veterans Day Programs on Friday instead of on Saturday, the actual Veterans Day.

That is because the programs are held in the schools, and there is no school on Saturdays.

Next it was the Holiday Sampler in Blue Earth, which ran from 3 to 8 p.m. This year was beautiful weather and for one of the first times my hands did not freeze while taking photos.

I cut out a little early from the Sampler and headed to Pemberton Auditorium a little after 7 p.m. that same Friday night, and took some pictures at a Taylor Swift concert.

OK, so Taylor Swift wasn’t there, and neither was her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, but there were 300 of her fans, mostly little girls, but there were some boys, all decked out to look like Swifties.

I got my five or six cute photos and got the heck out of there and headed from Pemberton Auditorium to the Performing Arts Center at BEA High School.

I made it in time for the start of the Town and Country Players’ production of “The Only Christmas Pageant in Town,” at 7:30 p.m. The show was cute, funny, interesting, musical and only about 45 minutes long.

I stayed for all of it, and got some more cute photos.

On Monday night, Nov. 13, I hit four meetings. Well, sort of four meetings.

My first one was at 5 p.m. and was the Blue Earth Area School Board work session where they heard a report on the community survey and discussed the whole issue of dealing with old buildings or building new.

Hopefully our readers understand it was a work session and no decisions have been made as far as what the board is going to do for sure.

Whether you just work with a hundred-year-old building or build a new one, you are talking about millions of dollars either way.

After that it was the regular School Board monthly meeting. Even though I did not have to change where I was sitting, technically it was another meeting.

From there it was off to the Ag Center for the annual meeting of the Faribault County Ag Society, the entity that operates the Faribault County Fair.

The financial news from this past fair was discussed, and yes, it was pretty grim. The fair is not a money-maker and usually does lose money, but this year was really bad. Blame the beastly hot weather that week.

After that meeting it was the Faribault County Fair Board meeting.

Now, granted, once again I did not have to change where I was sitting, but the truth is, it was a whole ‘nuther meeting. The Ag Society and the Fair Board are two different entities, although the members are the same, and they are tied together in many ways.

I don’t have enough space to clarify that for you. Let’s just say the Fair Board operates the fair, the Ag Society has buildings to tend and rent out, farm land to lease out and take care of, etc.

You can read about these meetings elsewhere in this issue, but the stories basically always hit the high points, and not every point at the meeting.

There you have it, it was a busy week. We are having another one this week ­- but this time the crunch comes from the fact that there is a holiday on Thursday. So we will be back to putting the paper together on Wednesday again this week.

It will be fun. It always is.
