Olde Town Market Yesterday

Can I tell you it was HOT yesterday? We were running a bit late getting up and getting out of here. Luckily I had most of the things packed and in the SUV already. We stopped at our local bakery on the way out. We were already running late, but a few added minutes were worth fresh donuts/pastries. We were surprised to see the business closed. Saturday's are their busiest day and later in the morning they normally have a local band playing that draws in more people. So that led to another stop to pick up something for breakfast and wasting more time. We stopped at Wendy's and got a sausage, egg and cheese biscuit. They were pretty good and held us up until the market was over. Got to the Market and went to the space I was assigned to find another business's banner up so had to go find the lady in charge. She told me to move to the center aisle. I was very happy to do that, since it was a space I have had before and on the main aisle. We had a good day despite the slow start. There were only half of the regular vendors there and the crowd was also down. I still had a good day with a new customer picking up right at $100 worth of makeup. I had several others pick up a few things. After market was over we picked up, packed up and headed to McComb for some lunch. Coming soon, the lady from Switerland and the man with the Tree of Life interaction!! Photo Credit: My Own

You must be very good with the public to run a business like that. I'm glad you had a good sales day.

Yes, one more day with the heat. I have a feeling that I will be on my on that day, as the man was drained.

@kareng — my brother said he spent yesterday inside recovering from heat stress, admitting, “Heat isn’t good for old men, no matter how much water you drink!”

This market ends at 1 pm, so yeah, a late lunch but still works and gives you a free afternoon. We used it for a nap after the heat!

@kareng It was only 80 here today but the humidity was awful. I tried to nap but couldn't get to sleep. Do you go every weekend?

That sounds a pretty good result for a market stall.

It was good for a day that the market was only half full and not many people visiting due to the heat!
