Rain on our Parade !!!!

Recently,  Our Team had decided to participate at a Community Fair to be held at a local school -  with all stall holders firmly ensconced right in the middle of the school oval -   As this was our first foray in to the world of Fetes & fairs,  we were a little excited and wanted to make sure everythig was just perfect.   We  had spent the last couple of weeks  making up cards & scrapbook layouts for display,  printing flyers & leaflets and preparing some Make &  Take  cards for the day.  We had  Gazebos, trestles, signs,  wishing trees  etc.   We had timetables,  action plans  etc....... everything was planned down to the last second.

We forgot to send our timetable to the weather man !!

The day was nearly a disaster....  If it wasnt rainng - it was blowing a gale !!....cards & displays went flying everywhere & when the wind stopped -  it proceeded to rain on the cards & displays !!  Needless to say - along with every other stall holder on the day - we had to pack up & run away by 1pm..we just couldnt hold out any longer !!   you just have to laugh dont you....

I say it was a Nearly disaster ..........because in 1 brief moment of sunshine - look at the faces of the delighted kids who managed a make & take........
