All Those Vendors......

Even the local businesses close down here during the summer and don't open back up until Oct. or so. In the last few weeks the grocery stores, local restaurants, laundromats, coffee houses, leather places, ice cream shoppe, rv parts/service, rock shops, bead stores, craft stores, etc. have opened their doors to the snobirds down here.

There are huge open areas set up here where people pull in their campers and setup their wares to sell for a price! Then there are the local craft fairs too and you can only participate if your stuff is hand made, which I really liked!!

We have seen paragliders, remote controlled planes and one morning I could have sworn I saw someone hanging from a hot air balloon lolol. Some of the motorized vehicles you see here are just far out, remember most of these snobirds are the older generation! I see people on scooters walking their dogs lol....except the dog is running hahaha!

There are hundreds of vendors already and more will be coming in. I was told a while back this is the wholesale capital of the world! So far I have seen....rocks, fossils, beads of all kinds for beading and jewelry making, crystals from Arkansa and any other place you can think of, sage bundles, hippie wares, dvd's, old fashioned kitchenware, clothing, jewelry, hot coffee, atv/scooter dealers, foods galore, rv supplies, tools, barber shop, massage therapy, windshield repair, satellite vendors, wholesale groceries, cabachons, pendulums, produce stands, breads, sweets, reiki, more rock shops than I could ever imagine, prospecting wares, kewl kitchen utensils, solar places and more! There are rv dealers out the whazoo! 

Alot of the rv parks have their own musical jamm sessions and there are places where bands come in and play for Sat. night dances! 

Of course they are gold & silver buyers. There is a permanent book store here where the owner supposedly plays a piano in there naked! What I do know is I haven't gone in there and I don't think I shall....lol. There is also a nude camping area out there somewhere...I have not bothered to search for that either, hmmmmm!

Soooo there u have it so far.....anything and everything one can imagine including many transients!!! When this shindig really gets going there will be so many events that it makes one's head spin. Many we won't attend but I am so glad I was able to see something like this...and we just might stay?!?!
