Flea Market & Festival
June 30, 2007
It was a first year event, modelled after former antiques shows, but with
a wider appeal. More stuff, more people, more advertising monies.
It was a gamble, trying to please everyone, including the community with
their own flea market lot, mixing arts and antiques. But the weather
was perfect, we had 70 vendors signed up, entertainment, the Euclid Beach
Rocket Car, and the people came.... It was an inspirational and gratifying
day, and everyone I talked to was not only enjoying themselves, but also
buying and selling well. Ron Meister ran out of hot dogs not once,
but twice. We ran out of supplies for the sock puppets. Some
people looked like they ran out of stuff period. Hooray. But
my favorite quote of the day was from one of the non-profit informational
tables who said that she'd seen board members down to service staff at
the event, and she couldn't name another event than had more cross-cultural
appeal or a brighter spectrum of the community. Here are some random
pictures -- mind you, during the height of the event, we had three people
working the counter here at Loganberry, so this photo walk had to wait
until the peak had passed.
