Swiss Days is an annual event in Midway, Utah. The town square is lined with rented booths, occupied by people selling every thing possible. Mostly home made products. It would be like going to Quilted Bear only multiply that four or five times. It used to be that the booths covered the perimiter of the square, now every inch of the square is covered plus it has spilled over to the adjoining town property. People from all over Utah come to Swiss Days to sell their wares. The event lasts for the Friday and Saturday preceeding Labor Day Weekend.

Neal had never been so we decided to go on Friday. Midge and Jim gave us a call as we were about the leave and said they wanted to play bridge that evening. When we mentioned that we were going to Swiss Days they asked if they could come along for the adventure. We parked at Lila Mae's and then had Julie's husband shuttle us over. We wandered about four or five rows of booths for about an hour or so and then Midge and Jim were done. We could have kept going for another three hours and still not made it to every booth. Seriously, it is that big. Neal and I ended up buying a couple of puzzles and lots of goodies from the Relief Society baked goods booth.

We went back to Lila Mae's, visited with her for a few minutes and then headed home. We did make a stop at the Park City outlets. Neal wanted to stop in Tommy Bahama's. They were having a 50% off every item in the store for the Labor Day weekend and he just coulding resist.

We ended the day by playing bridge until midnight. It was a very fun day!
