Canceled!!!! I'm very sorry, but I've decided that 94 degrees with a 40 percent chance of rain is not good for spending the day at the Flea Market. I'll post the next location I'll be selling at. I've had a very good time the last few weeks at the NC State Fairgrounds (map) selling hoops at the Flea Market. I've met a lot of great people and introduce or reintroduced them to hooping. The crowd is very diverse so I get a mix of young and old.
The young have used hoops in school or on the Nintendo Wii's WiiFit programs. Most of the younger crowd are fearless and will try anything....and most of them love the hoops.
The old(er) remember the Wham-O Hula Hoop days of the 60's and either loved or fear the toy then. The ones you can get to try the hoops I make are amazed they can do it and fall in love all over again. There is nothing better than the looks and gasps of joy when they realize "they can still hoop".
Quoting Dan Rodick, director of sports promotion at Wham-O, "There is no other product that gives me as much fear and respect for the power of mass culture as the hula hoop."
Hope to see all of you out at the Flea Market. I'll be there this Sunday July 26th from 9am-4pm in the Park. Even if you don't want to buy a hoop or are already a hoopdancer, come out and have some fun. I bring music, have a few hoops to share and love to have others join in with me.
