Our second big event has now come and gone. Derek, Emily, myself, and our helper Jane from Atlanta, did not know what to expect when we arrived at Market Days. We arrived on location at 8:30 Saturday morning to find our spot and looked at one another with the same thought, “How the heck are we going to fit our trailer there?” The sun was shining and before the event was close to starting there were spectators mulling around ready to get the party started. Backing in a 16 foot trailer up in the city was a new one but Derek managed to maneuver it into our spot with great ease.

This time around we had our fingers and toes crossed for great weather. Apparently we did not have them crossed enough as the rain rolled in. This rain was nothing compared to what we experienced Davenport, Iowa, but was a bit of a damper for the event (pun intended). Of course, being that we are Biker Britches we did not let the rain dampen our spirits.

The drizzle died off after an hour or so and the sunshine came back out bringing an even larger crowd. Several blocks away from stage one we could hear the rumble of the music and the cheers of people enjoying a great summer day. We did not know how our garments would be received but they were met with welcome arms.

We brought a few new lines with us which were a hit as well. Many were so anxious to put their new britches on they slipped away and came back to the festival with a large smile on their face. It was a long day and around 10pm we packed up and headed home to sleep fast before starting day two.

Sunday was a gorgeous day in the windy city with lots of fun and NO RAIN! The crowd was a bit smaller but the energy of the crowd was still strong. We met many new faces, saw some old and of course made new friends. A good deal of time was spent telling spectators about BB, how it all started and where we are headed. It was most exciting to tell people our website would be launching the next day!
