WHO…who knew me 30 years ago, before I even dreamed of being a business owner?!

WHO…believed in me, with ONLY 3 WEEKS notice to be ready for the Wi State Fair, to whip up enough bakery for 10 days, get a staff together, ingredients bought & even T~shirts & signage made?

THIS LADY..Jill, a friend, a Lane’s Bakery Family empoyee(we treated each like family).
I lost track of Jill for quite a few years.
But, ran into her again, as she was out SCOUTING VENDOR’S, to fill up the Wi. Product Pavilion @ the Wi State Fair!

I was in my 5th of my business! And I said to her, if you ever need a baker @ the Fair, I’d be interested! And that when it all started!
First I was in the Wis Cream Puff Building! In which everything I brought, I think I brought back!!!!
But, it was just coming outta Covid. And too! I knew I had to have enough bakery made, so I could be asked again. I had to prove myself & the business.

The following year, I was able to land a spot in the Wis. Products Building, where we are now!
Being a vendor at a State Fair is an Honor. One need’s to have all there P’s & Q’s in order. Ya gotta gear up gettin it all made, then refocus, getting the booth set up & ready to sell. The days are long, the crowd is there. Us vendors all help each other, cheer each other on. We’re ready!

…..Some FUN FACTS, bout Jill!!!!…….

💫….dont try to “keep up with her”! I can walk pretty fast, but I felt like I was a mile behind!!🥰

💫…oh the earning ideas, she can come up with!!!!🥰

💫….she used to do bike races around the Capitol, until she got carpal tunnel!

💫…one day having to come to work in Madison @ Lane’s Bakery! Half way from her house in Lake Mills, she realize she was heading the wrong way, to the fair…oppps, wrong job!!
Oh I’ve done that!🥰

💫….she was the only one I let, call me Waldo!! Cause of a red/white shirt I wore!!!🥰

💫…she meant her husband as he pulled up beside her Volkswagen bug, as they were drivin down the highway!!🥰 She loves her bugs!

💫….THE BEAUTIFUL flowers, over 4,000 pots around the State Fair is her creativity, blossoming, along with her crew!!!

💫…she bakes & decorates LOVELY gingerbread houses, EVERY YEAR!

💫…she’s in charge of the Flower building, The Wisconsin Products Pavilion, the Century Farm Breakfast & Day at the Fair…PLUS!!!
She’s the Beef Expo Person, Harvest Fair & is on many State committees!

Ohh I could go on, She’s an amazing lady!
The WISCONSIN STATE FAIR, is VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE HER SKILLS AND TALENTS!
And all that know her, know that Jill is in her elements! And doing her calling from God!

⭐️CHEERS JILL on ANOTHER AMAZING YEAR! Of being YOU & SHINING EVER YEAR!!⭐️

Every chance, every year along the way! I always got my picture with “Alice”!!!!❤️.
VERY SPECIAL MOMENT’S & Times for them.

They know the competition, is gonna be challenging, but, it’s the challenge they accept to represent a WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY❤️

To celebrate this years WI STATE 175th FAIR, I hope a lot of the ALICE’S are there, representing themselves & havin the joy of keeping WI on the map! One never knows where Alice will be next!

I truly enjoy what this years ALICE is doing! Being away from the fair. I get & other’s get to see what’s going on!!
I commented, she’s really making the State Fair blossom! I hope to get her picture together someday!! She’s doing a phenomenal job!

Pictures I don’t have together AND are basically neighbors, going to the same school, in Muscoda, who were Alice in Dairyland.
Are Kaitlynn Riley & Jill Makovec. Proud of both of you! And both are still involved in Wi promotional activies!

💫Gonna take this time to bring up wonderful State Fair memories!!!!💫

This lady,(I forgot her name,not sure if I know), (possible Jean)…

BUT, she comes EVERYDAY to the State Fair! She likes stoppin @ the F.Jo booth & gettin her treat bright & early & goes in & sits and watches the horses, cattle being judge in the large arena, almost ALL day long!!

Her husband is close to 90 & handicap. He drops her off, when she’s ready, he comes back to pick her up! SHE LOVES THE FAIR!🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Today would have marked our 5th year as a vendor @ the Wisconsin State Fair!! It’s a lot of work preparing for it, but the customers make it up!!

We have a lot of loyal returning customers that return day after day, several times a day, and year after year!! I almost could say, we knew what wanted🥰

I’m looking forward to next year! Still processing how it all got done in the past! But, the challenge will be good.

I’m still in LOW~Key..I’ve been through a lot and I’m so blessed to have this time off, to recognize it, and grow & heal!

Gonna MISS YOU ALL, the wonderful customers, vendor family, Staff fair staff! AND ALL THE WONDERFUL PEEPS, that stop by each & EVERY year for a hug & hello!!

Health update..I have 5% of cancer still in me. It’s comin out, little by little. And I’m seeing an Eye Specialist in Chicago that sees only Stem Cell Transplant patients, as I have VERY gritty eyes, part of graft vs. host disease. It’s like someone threw a cup of sand in my eyes. So glad my team of doctors are on it. And taking all the symptoms, and dealing with them.


… SOOOOO…Let my “Ears ring all week, and my tears flow”, I need a good cry! Miss you all

See yas next year with your $1.00 cookies!!

Much hug’s, Mary Jo~Flakey Jo~Mj
