Starland Farmers Market

If the hippies will not come to the internet, we will go to the hippies.
We had a booth at the Starland Farmers Market this past Saturday. It was only their second year, and this was the first market of the year. So there were not a lot of vendors. Maybe 15. Supposedly it will fill up as the summer progresses. Approximately 300 people showed up. We didn't sell alot. Only about $75 worth. But we had a great time. Met some people and had a nice morning in the sun. Next week we'll be back, with a canopy. And we have 2 events actually. Sunday we will be boothing for free at the BBQ/organic food/soul music/recycle rama thingy happening downtown 2-7.
The funniest moment of the day was when one of organizers from last year came over to chat me up. "You're just ooooooozing ambience." She talked my ear off for about 15 minutes and when she finally left, without buying anything, John pointed out that she wasn't interested in anything on the table but what was behind the table.
Check out our canopy-less (though Macgyver-ed umbrella chairs) quasi ghetto booth. Hopefully I'll have another picture of a classier booth next week.

I know, I know the rug is over the top, but we had to have something different and it was just laying around.
