POV: You think vendors just “show up” to events 😂
Yesterday’s King William Fair work day started at 6:30am and ended after 8pm — with enough loading, unloading, setting up, breaking down, re-loading, smiling, sweating, and carrying random bins to count as an Olympic sport! 💪
I had every intention of giving y’all a cute little “get ready with me”… but my dogs woke up and chose chaos that morning. 🙄
Being a vendor is definitely its own subculture. We’re part small business owner, part mover, part event planner, part salesperson, part comedian, part problem solver… and somehow still expected to look cute by opening time.
It’s exhausting, unpredictable, and a little unhinged at times — but it’s also one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done.
So grateful for everyone who stopped by, supported, shopped, shared kind words, or just showed love yesterday. Y’all make the long days worth it every single time. Fiesta forever 💐🎉
