Loading Out After Dark



This time of year it's practically dark by 7PM, when most of the weekday markets end, and it's completely dark by the time we load our equipment into our vehicles. Some vendors bring lights to help them through the last hour. I think it's a great idea, but I've never yet managed to do it.

The crowds thin out earlier, too. This is particularly hard for my business, because most of my sales are dinner sales, and those are precisely the people who are less inclined to show up after dark.

I appreciate the markets that end in late September and early October. As for the others, well, they just make me even more grateful that the season is nearly over.
