In addition to Wednesdays being added to the Downtown Crossing Market, we are privileged to display on the Rose Kennedy Greenway. The event can be found at GreenwayOpenMarket.com.
For those of you that are not familiar with Boston, after our decade struggle with what was called the Big Dig, the major elevated highway that went through the city is now underground. What was the dirty underside of a highway with pavement and parking lots is now a necklace of beautiful parks, fountains and people.
Yesterday we (my new business partner Pat and I) set up in the light rain but by the 11:00 AM opening, the sun and people were both out. Many memorable customers from Indiana, Minnesota (mailing your bowl tomorrow), Scotland and a one couple that are bringing our products back to Israel.
Our stand yesterday:
The people and weather held until about a half hour before closing when the event organizers passed word down the line to break down a bit early as there were thunderstorms coming. In addition to being there to assist with the logistics, they always watch out for weather fronts and warn the venders.
We were lucky to get our products packed and everything tightly under the tent before the rain and wind hit us. After 20 minutes of torrential rain there enough of a break in the rain so i covered my head with our tablecloths and ran to get the van.
Pat called me Casper:
We "almost" got it packed in a light rain but he heavens opened up for my last three trips to get the tent and weights.
All good, as I rested today and will be on the Greenway next Saturday to meet new people.
Thanks all,
Pura Vida, Don Federico
