And with free gift bags for the first 100 people who came in the door, people came in signed the door prize list made a quick walk around the room and left, It was a long boring awful day. At least I made my money back except for the door prize donation, and the money does go to a good cause plus a pizza lunch but I woulda much rather slept in and not wasted my time.

I lost money on 2 if you include the overhead costs of getting there. I really love our Farmer's Market here in Blairsville, GA. It runs 2x a week from June through mid October. We just go on Saturdays but the crowd that comes up from Atlanta and Marietta really make it work for us.
