Socks Made On 88
Thursday, 13 July 2017
Taken at Canada Day 150 by a customer!
We had a good day selling socks July 1, 2017. The nice thing about going to the market in July to October you meet lots of nice people touring the Maritimes on vacation being a typical tourist! That is one of my favourite parts of being at the market, talking to people who purchase our socks, and wondering where the socks are going? Many want to stop and take our picture with the CSM! This particular picture was taken by a lovely lady who was from South Africa and who bought a pair of socks. I will give photo credit to Katya. Also this day we met customers from Arizona, yes she bought a pair of Tabbies to wear back home! Customers from Virgina, Vancouver, and other places too. We will be at the market this Saturday, July 15th and wondering where our customers will be from this week? Oh and in case anyone is wondering of our August schedule we will be attending the market, August 5th and August 19th. Come on down to Lower Water Street, and drop in to see us near the Alexander Keith's Brewery tours. :-)
