May Snow and Other Joys of Outdoor Vending
I and many other people have commented and posted pics of this year’s Beltane (May Day celebration) held in the East Mountains near Albuquerque.
It is the third time in 11 years that it snowed at Beltane, but the first time it snowed on all 3 days of the event. I am proud of the other vendors. We all just zipped up our booths when the weather turned bad, and reopened when the snow stopped. The last day it just snowed nonstop, so we broke down our booths in a heavy wet snow. Keeping all our goods dry was almost impossible.
The next event for me and many other merchants is the SCA al-Barran’s Outlandish held May 26- 31 at Torrence County Park east of Albuquerque. Medieval and Renaissance dress are the norm. I hope people like the hand made period tunics that we will be selling.
Politics is a few words. The new Arizona immigration law is just plain racist. Most of the violence attributed to all immigrants is in fact due to a relatively small number of drug dealers fighting among themselves to control a lucrative drug trade. Native born Americans love their illegal drugs, and so the fight is on to exclusively supply them to us.
