Set up started at 10 A.M... This after pulling an all nighter working on co-labs with photographer & good friend W.E. Arnold for the January 2 man co-lab show at Clayspace/831 gallery, so needless to say exhaustion is kicking in...But this is sucha great event it's worth the sleep deprivation. 25 vendors are participating in todays event as well as Aerial dancing from Mickey Thomas & Dinin' Hall is open providing the very best in local food trucks, we also have Scott Yonker screen printing tee's...
One of the main reasons we do what we do at Parker POP Shop is to reach a younger audience and that includes children. A mother and her two daughters just purchased 2 Andy Bananas as their first paintings. If I had to guess I'd say they were 6 & 5 years old or so. The youngest held it close like it was a stuffed animal or something, so again it was a special moment & why we have various price points as well as bright POP'n colors...
This runs until 2 P.M& so far it's been a great crowd, the market is also running in conjunction with the Cheesy Trucks Columbus best grilled cheese contest. That event is running in the Gallery at 400 West Rich, while the market goes down in the big bay area.So with a half hour to go we're signing off from the 400 West Rich Farmers Market, till next time kids.....
