RobinInOR Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Saturday was a perfect day - 85F, a bit breezy in the afternoon. But who can complain when you're looking at a beautiful river, filled later in the afternoon with rafters. Saturday had my 2nd best day - if I averaged out sales I had a customer every 3 minutes lol. Sunday was pretty dead, it warmed up to 95F - did my usual low average. But the weekend total rocked! Totally sold out of lip balms.My awning worked great, kept the sun off in the afternoon.I was the last booth - 62 out of 62. The rest followed the river for a mile.bRight behind my booth - what a view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinInOR Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Nope, this is their 2nd year, my first. I've done another one on a river, but that was the Applegate River, not the Rogue. I like river fairs Funny customer story I remembered. On Sunday, a "little ole lady" - about my mom's age, late 70s, early 80s, came by and took 1/2 hour to sniff and chat. She was kind of negative. Asked how much, told her the pricing."Wow, now who would *ever* pay that much for soap - do you actually sell any?"Me: "I sold a ton yesterday, had to refill my shelves completely with new stock, so yes (smile), I've got a market"....I figured she's a depression-era person, so I can understand. She decides to buy one bar, and carefully, regretfully gives me a $5 bill. I package it up in my white bag w/ handles, and hand it to her..Her: "Well, at least the *bag* is worth something!" And off she walks.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
