Last (Windy) Market, After All?

I was all set to forsake this past market because of the weather, when lo and behold, the rain actually stopped and there was no getting out of it. Bummer. It was, however, incredibly windy, not to mention cold, which didn’t make for a good time in shorts and a t-shirt. Plus, because it was so windy, none of the other vendors used their tents, which made for an odd scene.

The market was slow, as well, and at some point I began to wonder if this was it. Next week there is going to be a big political event the day before, so the entire green is going to be a mess. The market is going to be relocated to another part of the field, and there will be no parking. Why bother?

I spoke with several vendors who said they are not coming next week, which inspired me to not want to come, either. It doesn’t take much. R, however, and the kids, are adamant about doing the last market. R especially wants to sell the rest of our dumplings, but I think it’s more of a symbollic ending, finishing what we started and riding it out to completion.

We’ll see where this one goes. There’s still a chance the market will just be cancelled, but no sense in getting my hopes up. Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to Lize Rixt for the pic.
