I can honestly attest to the fact there was no wind to speak of during the whole weekend. So sailing without a motor was a problem.
Secondly, since I did spend Sunday night up there it did rain, but more like passing thundershowers, drying in between. Most likely it did rain for longer periods after I left Ojai and was headed home.
Thirdly, I've gone to many, many Ojai events, spring and fall and none had the crowds that were there as this event did. Goodness it was absolutely packed on Saturday! On Sunday lighter, but I think most of the vendors did well, or at least those whose prices were within the reason of those who could afford anything.
I did come across some vendors whose products were way over the sky and to the moon with their price tags. (geesh who the hell would pay over $200.00 for a clay-made bottle with a cute design? Certianly not any of the people at that faire!)
I've never seen so many piratical outfits in one place. Some were really good (aw shucks, someone had to do it ) and others were quite questionable. But everybody had fun no matter what!
Well I've got about three weeks to finish up making my wares to sell at the Escondido Faire, but I'm taking it easy until then.
