The weather forecast said that it would rain Saturday night into Sunday, but as we drove to the fair at 11 am Saturday morning, it starting sprinkling. By the time we reached the vendors, it was a near-torrential downpour. My parents and I didn't have umbrellas or raincoats or anything, so we found ourselves walking down the road with as much soaking wet poise as we could. I felt so bad for all of the people without canopies and the people with canopies that were quickly being weighed down with water. I saw a man with dozens of boxes of picture frames frantically trying to shield them from the rain.
On the bright side, I bought a blue flower crown, a yawning cat keychain, and a pickle for various discounted prices for my perseverance. My dad thought that after we were all already soaking wet, he would buy us umbrellas, which did not help much. After half an hour of swimming through the street, my mom found the man who was selling fleece jackets with animals on them, and when she bought her eagle jacket, we were finally allowed to leave. My mom and I ended up coming back later because my sister (http://jessicaiscurrentlyonfire.blogspot.com/) wanted a flower crown, too, and the sun was finally out. While there, we ate five-dollar Chinese food, and ran into Danny Magaldi (http://danielmagaldi.blogspot.com/) and his dad.
On the way home, my mom and I passed a yard sale. I bought a mug with rainbows on it, but the best item at this yard sale was a near-mint-condition white 1963 Rolls Royce. It even had the steering wheel on the right side of the car and the lady was asking $15,000 dollars for it. My mom was seriously considering taking money out of her 401K to buy it and sell it to the guys on American Restoration.
And after this very interesting day, I went home to do my Chemistry homework.

ReplyDeleteYesterday, I went to the New Hyde Park Street Fair. To be clear, I don't live in New Hyde Park, but my mom will do anything for eagle paraphernalia. Including walking down Jericho Turnpike in the pouring rain, which is what we did.
