The T shirt sales were definitely down yesterday, although brisk. We only had one location by the waterfront due to weather & other circumstances. The artists I talked to Sunday morning said they made some sales yesterday, even paid for their booth, but many others had to close up due to weather.

The Nechters (Olde Tyme Antiques), however, said they did very well, as many of their stuff sits out and even looks better in the rain.  Today before noon the west wind blew out the clouds, the sun and the crowds came out, promising a great 50th Shrimp Festival.
