Well, hurricane Earl went through in a furry on Saturday Sept 4. Power was out almost all over the County. The main Business district in Pictou had no power. That didn't stop the vendors of the Pictou County Weekend Market from opening. Power was promised by 11 am on Sunday and we decided to open at regular hours. We had a great day. We ran the Market by candle light. The vendors at the three doors had all the sunlight you could wish for. I , myself, am tucked away at the far end of the building and had to have a bunch of candles for light. For those shopping for pickles and Jams they were given a hand held light in order to read the labels.
The customers thought it was a great idea and so did the vendors. We had some music and singing and I even had a dance with the Coin Man. AS it turned out at 5 pm, we still had no power when we closed.
Great Job everyone....
