I wasn't too thrilled with the turnout last year when I attended street fairs in NJ. It just seemed like, compared to places like Pelham and Nyack, NJ was a bit lacking. As a fan of second chances, I thought I would give my neighboring state another try.

I spent the night before last constantly checking the weather forecasts for Fair Lawn. My show a week ago, in Suffern, got rained out. I did not want to deal with that again, especially since I would be doing the Fair Lawn show all by myself. 

Overall, the show was decent. The weather forecast definitely kept a lot of people away, but I had fun. The organizers for this event were some of the most efficient I have ever worked with. There were many more of their employees walking around than I had ever seen at a street fair before. Fair Lawn is a nice little town. Definitely a place I felt comfortable in. 

I also want to take this time to thank my awesome neighbors, Alan and Stacey (pictured above). They were kind enough to entertain me during the show and help me break down some of my equipment at the end (we had to close early to avoid the oncoming storm). Stacey runs a cute little jewelry shop on Etsy called Petal & Stone. Alan is the self proclaimed "muscle" and "labor". Overall, they make a great team.

Yesterday's Nyack, NY street fair couldn't have been on a more beautiful day. Just a little bit of wind to keep the air slightly cool, lots of sunlight, and wonderful people to chat it up with. Here are a few photos for your viewing pleasure.

Make sure to check out OMUNKY's upcoming shows page to see where I'll be next!

Looks like I'm going to have to invest in some type of tent-grips. That or even more weights! I felt like I was on a cruise ship yesterday. My tent was basically a sail whose job it was to move the "Island of Suffern" around the Atlanic Ocean. Wow!

So I threw a video up for you guys to get an idea of how crazy it was. That's my brother, Sam, trying his best not to blow away. In the end, the tent held strong, we didn't lose any products, and we left Suffern unscathed. But, sheesh, can we turn down the wind next time?

You'd think I would've done this sooner! OMUNKY has some sweet kid-sized shirts, yet there was no way for online customers to see that. As of today, this has been fixed!

I want to thank Lovelle and his parents for making this happen. I also want to thank my friend/die-hard OMUNKY customer, Cynthia, for getting us together today for one of my favorite photoshoots.

So parents, let's get some kids tees for the little ones, ok?
