🌦️ Market days are always an adventure.
Looking at this picture of me sitting at our booth, you'd never know that around me there were over 100 vendors, food trucks, Touch A Truck vehicles, shoppers, kids exploring, and a whole lot of small businesses spending their Saturday doing what they love.
You'd also never know that about 10 minutes after this picture was taken, Mother Nature decided she'd had enough and sent a front barreling our way.
When the wind started picking up, everyone jumped into action. Vendors were scrambling to secure products, pack displays, and save canopies. We got everything loaded up quickly and even had a chance to help our neighbors get their canopy secured and packed away before things got too wild.
Thankfully, we managed to get completely loaded before the rain really started. Even better, we somehow stayed ahead of the storm all the way back to Pleasanton, which meant we were able to get everything unloaded at home before the rain caught up to us.
Phew.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out and supported local businesses today, and to all the vendors who helped each other when things got exciting. That's one of my favorite things about these markets — even when the weather doesn't cooperate, people do.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to shower off the day and enjoy the rain from inside the house. 😅
