The Show Is Over - Clay Coyote

Well, at least the Art show season is done for us this year. Long weekend. We went to Bayfield WI, the gorgeous town that is the jumping off point for the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior.

Lots of sailing (deep water). Should have been a good show. But we got there Thursday, set up part way in the dark (1 hour of work in 2-1/2 hours.) then came back Friday am to finish up. At 8:30 the chamber told us severe weather was headed in (30+ mph wind and rain) and that we didn’t have to set up. So we didn’t.

Off to Greunke’s for breakfast, then back to the room for a nap. Went back to the show when the rain tapered off at 2 or so, finished setting the pots up just in time to close at 5. Next morning, at least the rain had stopped (mostly), and the fresh breeze off the lake kept us on our toes. Betsy was very happy.We’re not exactly how the girl in shorts felt…probably numb, or maybe she was a sailor. And our neighbor lady was set for the weather and AppleFest. 30 years she’s been doing it!

So 5 days, and we netted maybe $500 profit. When’s the last time you made a profit on your vacation?

Oh yeah, the weather cleared a bit on Sunday so everyone could go to the big parade.
