Just to add to what Nate already wrote. The fair turned out to be great! The days were long and hot, but worth it.Thursday started us off pretty slow actually. Not a lot of people were in attendence the opening day, and I'm pretty sure it was the hottest of the three we were there. A lot of people that came by the booth really liked what they saw, but maybe it was just to early for them to buy; always ending with a "We'll be back."
At about 9 o'clock pretty intense thunderstorm rolled in, bringing a LOT of rain! Needless to say everybody went home early. So after a long hot, wet and not particularly impresive day of sales, we ended a little bummed. But we still had two days left, and we were going to make the most out of them.
Friday we were able to get our new banner up. As you can see if the back of the second picture. Also we had completely forgotten to pull our our button up shirts on thursday, so those were pulled out. I must say I was pretty happy with how the booth turned out. I thought it looked rather nice. Friday was also a little cooler than Thursday (probably because of the rain the night before). If you look at the bottom left of the picture you can see our daughter Olivia sleeping. So I'm guessing this pic was taken around 5:00 in the afternoon. You can see the sun creeping up on us. That was when it would get the hottest. These were usually the slower times of the day. Not a lot of people enjoy being out in the blazing sun when it's so hot outside. So We would have to keep ourselves entertained at times. Here is a pic of Olivia keeping us laughing. She had found some stickers that were given out by the Truth about tobacco.
As I mentioned earlier; The days we're slower with a sale here or there, but once the evenings came around, so did the people, and we had a great time with a great response. It's always good to meet new people who are excited about what we're doing. We appreciate all the support from each of you.
