Gruene Market - February 2025
Gruene Market - February 2025 | New Braunfels, TX
We invested in a new 10x20 canopy this year. We thought that orange would be a great, lively color. However, we later realized that the light filtering through the orange canopy gave everything an orange tint. We’ve since ordered a white canopy for the next event.
We purchased the new canopy from Extreme Canopies. It is expensive and very heavy. We thought it could withstand the strong Texas wind gusts that occasionally sweep through the area. Boy, were we surprised when a single, powerful gust lifted this 150 pound canopy and slammed into our booth displays nearly causing the loss of artwork and toys. The wind caught the heavy canopy side panels like wind in a sail.
Live and learn…
In spite of the issues with the new canopy, we had a great weekend. We met a number of kind, interesting folks. We made some new friends and had great conversations with our fellow vendors. We also sold a lot of 3D printed toys to a lot of great kids.
