Photo journal - Swift Current trade show

It's been a busy few weeks of travelling to craft and trade shows to share our Saskatchewan and Prairie books. One of the first events of this fall was the Fall Into Christmas show in Swift Current.

Here's a photo journal of our Swift Current weekend in late September:

We left Regina bright and early to drive to Swift Current.

Yep ... we`re on our way alright!
 

Racing a train across the Prairies. (We`re winning...)

The view along the way...


Arriving at the Stockade in Swift Current, site of the show.


Lots of booths, lots of people, lots of fun!

Al tells some folks about our books.

Two women get a giggle from the Parlez-Vous Ronglais column by Ron Petrie in the Running of the Buffalo book.
 
This young man walked from one end of our table to the other to match the book covers on our bookmark with the books on our table. Cute!
 

Part of the fun of being an author as well as a publisher is in signing my books for customers.


A sign available for purchase at a neighbouring booth made us laugh out loud.
 
We liked this one, too.
 
It was raining as we left Swift Current for the drive home.

 

The skies cleared and the view was great, looking out and looking back.

An almost-full moon was breathtaking over the prairies.


Driving away from the setting sun.



 

 
 
Northern lights! And passing traffic...



Not bad photos, considering I shot them from inside the vehicle as we were driving.

 
Arriving back in Regina after a great trade show.

Whew! That was fun!
