Been doing inside craft shows for a few years and thaught doing one outside would be fun.
Everything was going great, people strolling by, chatting about my favorite topic (blacksmithing of course).
Then the wind picked up, the sky turned black and one of the worst rain storms I've ever seen started to pour.
Gazebos flying everywhere, displays falling, glass and ceramic art shattering on the asphalt, etc...
After the winds fell enough to pick this mess up, we had the pleasure of loading everything in the truck in the pouring rain.
Most of my stuff is treated for "inside ironwork" so I had to go through each forged item I had to rag dry, then used a hair dryer to reach the cracks and hard to reach spots.
My beautiful wife and 10 year old daughter were there as usual to help me get through this mess, I am truly blessed to have them.
