Devastating….we drive away feeling blessed, we were fortunate unlike many of the other vendors at Benton Farms " Benton Family Farm" the storm that rolled through last night caused so much damage.
Prayers for the Benton family & friends & our fellow vendors.
Sharing pics of what’s left as of 8:45am for those who are unsure what their booth looks like. A few are still “untouched” but so many are a total loss.
This is not meant to be critical of anyone, please know that. But Folks, anchoring your canopy is not a “check the box” activity. Every event, without fail, should include securing your canopy.
If you need suggestions, we have 2 cinder blocks at each pole and secured with ratchet straps that are looped over the frame and through the blocks. They aren’t glamorous but the work (at least they have so far). We’re still working on the glamorous part 😉
We are looking forward to coming back in the fall…God willing.
