Parasailing

This weekend I'm a vendor at the local music and arts festival up at the lake resort, about a 15 minute drive from me. I've never attended before, thinking my natural health products wouldn't be much of a fit.

How wrong I was! Of course it's a fit, as the hot springs are up there and it's a huge tourist draw. So last weekend was a smashing success and I was more than pleased at the end of the weekend.

The festival continues this weekend, but for three days, starting yesterday. Yesterday was quite slow, as it was really hot and windy with very few customers. Considering how slow it was, I'm still really pleased with my sales for the day.

The venue is absolutely gorgeous, as all the vendor tents are pitched on the grass along the promenade with our backs to the lake. So all one has to do is turn around to enjoy an incredible view of the lake and mountains.

Last week, I'd kicked myself for not taking my camera - and didn't make that same mistake this weekend. When I arrived yesterday, a brightly coloured parasail was floating high above the lake, the glacier peaks of a distant mountain a stark contrast to the intense hues of the parasail.

Fortunately, I had gotten there early and had plenty of time to take photos before setting up. Although it was a perfect day for it, that was the only parasail that was on the lake yesterday, and I'm hoping today will bring more out before the market starts.

Fantastic, LadyImp! I make lotions and potions too! So glad you had a prosperous festival!applause
G'evening Lady wave
sometimes the best of things are often on our own steps, all we need do is venture out and explore.. If not for my fear of heights wouldn't I love to be up in one of those things up up and away yay
if only .... sigh

Might I ask about your natural health products?
Gypsy - thank you! And me too! grin
Itchy - isn't that the truth about things in our own back yard? thumbs up

Like you, I'm terrified of heights, but that does look like fun. (If I didn't die of fright, first!) lol.

As for my natural health products, I developed and manufacture an all natural anti-inflammatory and topical pain reliever as well as magnesium oil. grin
I saw your pictures on FB too and was impressed. So happy to hear every thing was good for this event and it was financially successful. The pictures are beautiful Imp. I love parasailing. I'm not too afraid of the heights but I watch the water always praying I don't see sharks, they scare the bejezuz out of me.
The enlarged picture of the Parasailer with the backdrop of the mountains is breathtaking. How far away would you estimate the mountains are in that picture? They look so close.

It's awesome that your market venue is having such success. Arts and crafts shows make great browsing for me and I'm sure it is a huge draw for anyone wanting to spend a leisurely day outside to soak up some of the great outdoors.
Great photos.

Congratulations on your success!
Fay - you would love parasailing here, then. No sharks in the lakes. grin

It has been a fantastic venue - lots of fun, but I have to admit, this is the last day and I'm glad that it is. It's been great, but tiring. banana
Kicks - I'm not sure how far away they are, but not that far as they're part of the mountains that surround the lake (which is glacier fed). It was awesome to see them in front of the snowy peaks, and that's all that was in the background.

Abagail - thank you! grin
Hi Ladyimp, great pics. thumbs up good luck in your sales.
Hi Wen! wave Thanks very much! grin
Great pictures never tried parasailing.looks like fun.
Blue - it does look like fun. Unfortunately, with my fear of heights, that'll be one of the last things I'll ever do.
