Fourth of July was gravy

Our booth at 4th of July fair

Ahi did well at the fair, thanks to his girlfriend who bought 2 hats from him before the fair. Those two hats paid for the cost of the booth plus the donation merchandise, so everything else was gravy. Thanks to our new and old friends who came by to give him encouragement, check out his merchandise and even buy a few hats. At the end of the day, he sold six hats and one order of shoes. In between, he took grandma’s red converse shoes off of her and designed those too.
