On Sunday, I had the opportunity to attend my first event. The event was at Conner Prairie, which is located in Fishers, Indiana. Conner Prairie is one of the largest outdoor history museums. Visitors to the prairie can see and learn what it was like to live in Indiana's past.
The event did not turn out as planned. Saturday, Emily and Kelsie worked the event. It was raining and very humid so the turn out on Saturday was pretty low. We hardly had any sales or visitors to our booth. Sunday was much better, despite the fact that our tent broke. Emily and Kelsie had left the tent up over night, so we wouldn't have to put it up again in the morning. Come to find out---our tent was located on the prairie where it is the most windy! When we arrived to Conner Prairie to start setting up our merchandise, we found out that our tent was broken due to the high winds. Trying to fix our tent and then realizing is was not fixable was a lovely start to our morning. Fortunately, Conner Prairie had an extra tent that we were able to use. Just as we thought our luck was starting to turning around, Emily realized she had left the cash box at her house. As she frantically drove a half hour home to get the cash box, I began setting up the booth. Wasn't as easy as I thought, but I managed. I was able to take a few pictures with my phone that I was going to post, except my blackberry won't send the pictures right now. I'll try and get them up tomorrow!
I'm looking forward to this weekend where I will be spending the weekend in Elkhart, Indiana for another event!
