Warrenton, Texas
| For
8 days in the spring of 2003, in preparation for the official launch
of The Memories Mall, we operated a booth at the big antique
fair in east central Texas. Although we offer reproductions, the
response was terrific. We'd like to thank everyone for stopping by. |
|
| We were fortunate
to get a 10ft by 20ft space from Betsy, owner of Granny McCormick's
Yard. |
|
| This was located
in the center of town, directly across from the Warrenton Grocery
and Post Office. |
|
| From our vantage
point we could keep track of all the major events including routine
traffic stops. |
|
| But to really
see the whole event required some serious hiking. Vendors &
visitors alike used bikes, scooters & golf carts to get around
since the fair spanned acres of fields stretching along miles of
roads. |
|
| There was so
much to see that shoppers used their cell phones and walkie talkies
to keep track of the treasures and each other. |
|
| The Sterling
McCall Antique Car Museum, located two doors down, provided music
during part of the weekend. |
|
|
Like they say,
"if you don't like the weather in Texas, wait a minute".
The 1st day was beautiful, sunny and near 80. The next day the wind
blew out of the north and the high was only in the 40's. The 2nd
weekend was perfect however and as evening fell on Friday, a large
flock of birds, flying in formation, headed north.
Although it
was a lot work, we enjoyed the experience a great deal. We met some
great people and watched the shoppers returning to there cars with
just about everything & anything you can imagine.
