STL Earth Day

It's the big day......
Had to leave extra early (before 6am) because even though we drove and spent several hours there last night to set up a majority of the tent and tables, racks etc. We ended up taking it all down and securing it. Are you thinking the worst ??? WHY ???
There was no Thunderstorms, nah...
there was no freezing temperatures and snow, nah...
like the last Craft Show...
We has WIND, GUSTS of WIND
After we fought off unsecured tumbling tents from surrounding vendors. We took ours down because the last one pushed hard enough it bent some of the metal, so instead of having a tent leg or whatever damage it overnight, we took it down.
Positive Note: We are getting good at putting Up and Down this Tent.

So the weather was hot, it's okay we took plenty of water.
But my daughter and I are in need of a good masseuse for our shoulders.
We spent the entire time taking turns braces the tent above our heads and the racks from blowing over. Lil Orchid was of course a little Angel. Some friends stopped by (thanks Christie & Brian) then walked Lil Orchid over to the Pet section and watched the Box Turtles and Dogs.
The people were friendly and there to enjoy a great day outside and the festivities. Met some new clients and some new contacts.
It was the 20th Anniversary
for the ST Louis Earth Day Celebration.
NOTE: I took both my children to the first one!! Just look how young they are :)
