It ain’t over until it’s over

  This has been a strange selling weekend.  I guess we got a little cocky after Chuck did so well on Friday.  We never do that well on a Friday, so, of course, we were sure it would last all weekend. WRONG !

   Saturday was average or even a bit below average.  The weather was near perfect, the produce was fresh, had a variety, priced to sell, and ready to go.  So, what went wrong?  Who knows, but folks just were lukewarm about buying.

   We sold Sunday, though we thought on Friday if Saturday did really well, we would be sold out on Sunday.  The market was so full of vendors, they were turning them away.  Problem there becomes you may have twice the vendors, but not twice the buyers.

  Produce seems to be saved some from that, as there aren’t that many of us and very few who just come on nice days.  By the end of the day and the end of the weekend we were sold out.  Didn’t happen as cleanly as we hoped but it did happen.
