Another WET day!

We put up the tent this morning, in drizzle.  We discussed how we'd be able to keep dry, as well as display most of our 5 potters' works, and offer a dry spot for customers to stand as well.

A 10 foot by 10 foot pop-up tent can only do so much.
So we cut our tables to just 2 six-footers.

We still used table cloths, which got soaked.  But no risers, no business cards, no special display stuff at all.  This was the nitty gritty of a Tailgate Market.

Mud Buddies Rule!

The rain got better for a while, but it got colder out...in low 60s I'd guess. Then by 11:45 it was pouring rain.

Our vendor next-door-neighbor had an extra panel to hang from the top, providing a side to protect us from the drips off the top edge.  That let Cathy and myself sit in comfort, relatively speaking.
There were 24 tents displaying, I think the manager, Joannie said.

Last week they didn't hold the market at all, thanks to Hurricane Joaquin.  Joannie said this was the first time in (sorry, I don't remember how many years...) that they'd canceled.

And we had some sales too!  I was glad to finish my order for a plate from Joanne, and then another woman gave us an order for a special decoration on a particular shape mug.  She paid in advance.

Manager Joannie is making sure things are going as smoothly as possible.

If I look bedraggled, it's because I sure am!
