<p>[QUOTE="red_spork, post: 2437260, member: 74282"]I unfortunately never met Leonard Nimoy but I did meet William Shatner 8 or 9 years ago at the local county fair. I grew up in Mercer County, Kentucky which has a horse show every year during the county fair. People come all over for this thing, and William Shatner owns a farm an hour or so away and tended to visit the horse show at least every other year. Because my mom and stepdad were running a booth for their business, I got to get in for free and since I lived in the middle of nowhere and couldn't yet drive by myself, I went with them every single night. One night I ran into Shatner at the concession stands. I didn't really know what to say so I just said "hey you're William Shatner" and I think he shook my hand, grabbed his food and walked off but as a nerd who grew up watching Star Trek reruns every night with my dad it was awesome to meet Captain Kirk, even if only for a second.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately between college and moving over a thousand miles away I haven't had a chance to visit in a few years but I've heard he still attends the horse show.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
