It seems that our coming early this year has paid off, for this trade show at least.
We had a good show this year, more than doubling last year's sales.
The weather was iffy on Friday, but the traffic was robust and sales were acceptable. Most of the sales were to Master Gardeners & not too many of the public were in attendance.
Saturday the weather was spectacular, sunny skies and temps in the mid 70's. The public was much more visible and spring fever made for brisk sales. It seems, from the conversations I heard, that most of the vendors had a good weekend.
There are many activities planned for this spring. The annual BBQ 5 course meal for St. Vincent DePaul Society is next Saturday. This will be our first time going, but the meat is prepared by Gil and Richard. I think that it is some of the best BBQ that I have ever eaten.
One of our Breakfast club members is part of a Barber Shop Quartet Club and they are having a show in May. We have our tickets and are anticipating a great show. We were to go last year, but the flood interrupted our plans
Valentines day, a group of the men came and serenaded us all at our weekly Sunday breakfast. They were very good and whetted our appetite for more of that old time musical fare.
If we are still here in the middle of June, we plan on attending the Parish Picnic with the Redbirds.
The Redbirds is the AAA team of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.
Bob has been trying to get us to go ever since we started coming here, but it was always in August, and we were long gone by then.
It was by request that he move it earlier in the year.
Ta ta for now.
