this was my space two doors or tents down from stash style which always is a delight
this is the tow vechile wish i could say uhaul was out of trucks but that was not the case...i thought hey she can earn her keep.....she much prefers the sandy shores of lake Michigan as do i......
this is my friend dan and his lovely wife cjs tent dan was very much a part of why i joined the circus....i mean sold at the show....and i owe him a thank you once my muscles recover.....my sun burn fades my finger nails grow back and i get some zzzzzzzzz
this is a foot truck....with the best mac and cheese in the world and the most wonderful owner....carrots is the food trucks name......brisket pulled pork corn salsa etc........YUM
this chick was a presenter talking about paint finishes she was very popular....maybe i am suposed to know her but i was busy working and eating mac and cheese
this is my real store the store i tore apart to go on the road it has electricity and a bathroom and is warm and happy but 30,000 people do not visit in a weekend so that and dan are why i joined the circus......(not changing it this time... it is carny work)
this is me i beg some lady with a small child to take it as i had no friends and had to rely on the help of others for a photo...........if you zoomed in and cropped it i would look like i was on the cover.....
no need but just know that is an option as options are good
