Good neighbours.
This is David E. The sign beside him states that "unattended children will be sold as slaves". He runs a booth full of musical instruments, so I can see the temptation.

My "crew".
And this is how it looked. A little charming, a little ragged, all in all, a really nice little sales booth! You can see how the decks wrap all around the back...and in fact the front is not a sales area at all! That is totally different from the usual "sales booth" paradigm. In fact, in a year or two, I was going to run a deck in front as well.

Speaking of temptation....here are Dave's Angels.

Thats it sir, head down, feet shoulder width apart, address the ball, ...

And mom is watching her daughter VERY closely! We never sold knives to kids under eighteen, but I never had much problem with them looking. As long as a parent was right there!

This was the "pub side" of the booth, the south side. It got all the sun, so we put up umbrellas. This was before we finished hinging the window covers, and we just stacked them across the bottom of the deck, under the bottom rail. Seemed to work.

At one point, the people at the music booth took one of my battle ready swords, and I took one of their harps in a little contest to see if we could sell each other's "stuff". Good fun. They put ribbons all over my sword, and I tried to see if the harp could be used as a weapon. (Yeah, but only if I was playing and singing at the same time.)
