Craft Fair

The Fair was a bust. I did not even get the chance to sell anything. It was really windy at first so I had to weight my prints down so they were flat on the table. A lot of people just walked passed. Then Joe’s mom brought me a clear plastic box to stand them up in. This was fortunate because not 10 minutes later rain started pouring down. Luckily there was enough room for all my stuff and Katie and Laura’s stuff as well. Before this I also had to run back to the house and get the key to the cash box that I left in my other pant’s pocket. After the initial downpour I decided to go to the store and pick up some tarps and clamps to attach them to the tent. Literally as we finished one of the fair organizers came over and said there was a much worse storm coming in less than an hour so we should pack it all up. Since everyone else was packing up to leave we did too. We thought there wouldn’t be anyone walking around. Well of course as I was driving back to Laura’s house we hit a huge downpour, that lasted maybe 10 minutes. It didn’t rain the rest of the day. It was quite the adventure and the only thing we could really do was laugh. I was sad that I didn’t even get the chance to sell anything, but it will be a very good memory of a crazy day with my friends.

It’s just one of those days. At least I have lots of prints for the next one and most everything is taken care of.

‘Til the next fair…
