Ike came through this afternoon.  Looks like the worst of the wind has happened, but we’re still getting some pretty fierce gusts.  We lost power for a bit, which brought down the server.
I’m glad we went ahead and tore down before it got too bad. I hope nobody who tried to stick it out got [...]

We did get some [...]

Most of the butterflies sold on saturday, as did the popular animal puzzles.  However, I sold two of the beaded trays, [...]

Just got my packet–I’ll be in booth 86.  Looks to be an end booth, but against a tree or something.  I’ll need to do a site visit and get more info…
