The *CALM* Before the Storm ~ 2019 - June Elkhorn Flea - WI...

~**The Weather**~

Is ALWAYS an issue at Outdoor Flea Markets!!!

The forecast was extremely grim
 for this PAST SUNDAY'S  FLEA (May 19th - 2019)... 
 HOWEVER, The Morning *STAYED-DRY*... 
 The S*U*N Poked Out Off & On...
 The Wind INITIALLY Calm...  

The InSane STORM Hit us about 12:45
and lasted for "30-minutes"...
Thank Goodness my Frog Husband was with me!!!
Jeff held on to the center tent frame...
I held on to the tent leg & side where the wind was whipping-in... 

~THanKFul ~ 
WE SURVIVED & SO DID OUR TENTS/ITEMS!!!
The sun came out shortly after...
 We've been working on a wet/muddy cleanup  on ever since!

Although the SHoPPerS came out,

 - the crowd was nothing compared to the usual Elkhorn Flea Season Opener in May...

A  B*I*G  THanK YOU to all of those that did come out & S*H*O*P-My-ShaBBies!!!
