April Treasure Market

Tammy held another one of her Ultimate Treasure Markets today.  She has changed it from two days to one day and held it in half of the Trade Center building at the county fairgrounds.

Friday from 4 pm to 8 pm was the time most people came to set up their booth.  Tammy and I got there before 3 pm.  Between people coming in early and all the stuff we had to do we were still setting up when people started arriving.

Saturday morning the Treasure Market started at 10 am but Tammy and I were there by 8:30 am for the people who did not set up Friday night, or needed more time in the morning to put finishing touches on their booth.

Saturday morning started nice but a weather front arrived after 9 am with strong winds and snow when I was setting up the sandwich board signs along the roads and tieing helium balloons Tammy had purchased this morning.   Tieing a floating balloon can be tricky in good weather conditions.    Three balloons were torn free from their store attached ribbons before I started to tie the ribbons extra to the balloons.





I took this photo this morning before the Treasure Market was open and everyone was completely set up.


The Market was over at 5 pm.  By the time I took down all the signs and balloons, folded up all the tables and chairs, and cleaned the trash it was 8 pm.  A long day for both of us.  Even the balloons lost most of their pep.
