This year’s BQ Market was much bigger in scale than the one last year. Not only was Hudson’s grocery store was involved, the New Ark restaurant and bar were giving away free curries and snacks. There were more than 20 stalls selling photographs, bric-a-brac, CDs and books in the morning. There was a fair amount of people coming to see the stalls and buying things. Unfortunately, there were quite a few people losing their vases and dishes due to the strong wind. I lost one of my photos to the fish pond and sold a few of the others in the early afternoon.
A party started at three in the afternoon when there was a live band playing and free food. I have never seen so many people sitting outside and socialising. The weather turned out to be really good in the afternoon and the party didn’t stop until late evening.
I am already looking forward to next year’s market. I feel like I am learning something new about setting up a stall every year.
