The 196th Street Market at Pigeon Park on Sunday.
It was a good day. Not much sun, but no rain. This is the break, we were all saying, the break in the bleak rainy season of our home here in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver.
A few incidents of note need mentioning.
A random person was pepper sprayed, and the ambulance came to treat him.
A small fight broke out among the drinkers area, and the police came to break that up.
People flocked from miles around to see the people's market, the DTES Street Market, on a nice Sunday afternoon.
We are slowly adjusting our operations, and now have access to the power at Pigeon Park. Almost 20 people came up to our table to test various devices - laptops, mixers, lights, and chargers. The power is very appreciated.
We had a little trouble clearing the park at the end of the day, and a few belligerent stragglers were there at 6pm when the garbage truck came.
The addition of power will mean that we can pull out the pressure washers at 5:30 and make sure the park is squeaky clean at the end of the day.
It was the second Sunday where we franchised out the coffee sales. We still collect 75% of the money, but can now spend more time walking around and running the market.
Financial Report
1) Coffee Sales: $75.00
2) 50/50 Draw: $46.65
3) Table/Tent Rental: $113.50
Vendor Count = 152 @ noon
Bathroom Count = 158 (total for 6 hours)
Power testing count = 20
