This bazaar has be going for 40 years or so I'm told and is supposed to have a very good turn out.  I'll see how it goes.  For Sat after turkey day I'm optimistic.
There are 160 vendors that will be attending.

The show wasn't as successful as I had hoped as far as sales go.  I cleared a little over 100 after expenses.  Lots of lookers but a lot of other vendors I talked too said it was the slowest for sales they had ever seen.  Met some nice people and had a ball people watching.  No more shows this year so that is a good thing.

Oh yeah took the camera out and charged it and left it on the kitchen counter right next to my lunch.  Oh well always next year.

LOL  ;D,  We must be related.  I usually leave my shopping list at home.  But isn't people watching a hoot?

People watching was the highlight of the day.  The funniest exchange between a husband and wife was near my booth.

Envision a rather tall, well dressed man in his mid 70's.  Clean shaven and the only peculiar thing is he is wearing golfing shorts.  Now you have to remember it is 12? outside with about 8-10 inches of snow on the ground with a breeze making it even colder.

The gentleman is standing about 15 feet from my both hands in pockets and leans over and says something indiscernible into his wife's ear.  All of a sudden with great disdain she takes a step back and smacks him on the shoulder with her walking stick and said.   "Dammit I'm not leaving, I told you to wear long pants!!"  "Now you can just go sit in the car and wait!"

I did chuckle and I happened to notice the gal next to me had a big grin on her face.  I was laughing uncontrollably inside though.  Yours is funny as well..
