Mercado is galloping along, and expectations are UP!
The class is getting very tense and hope they have enough to sell, Sell, SELL!
Last year, there was a problem in the taco stand.
They didn't have enough supplies to serve "Da People".
Pretty soon, they ended up crumpling the hard taco shells and serving it with salsa.
Chips n' Salsa. Hey, thats not SO bad.
Also, EP remembers her shop and tells me the story:
"I was working with the books," she said, "We had library cards and everything! I thought we'd be a hit! But, we didn't get as much people as we hoped"
She told me that a fair amount of people bought books, just not the hundred thousand she wanted.
Some of you might remember the CP group.
That's right! Ceramic Pig! Last year, in Mercado, CH and BA worked together to make the Mercado Mix!
The first song on the CD was: "La Coocaracha"
Some Elms find it embarrassing, VERY embarrassing.
"I felt good when I was singing. But when it came out... Aye ca-rumba!" an Elm told me.
"I was playing in the background. You know, part of the grand music glue to put it all together... I didn't want my parents hear me mess up. They did. They Laughed and they patted my back until it pretty much fell off!" said another.
Hair was another thing. The hair group had died/ colored hair and styled it for people.
Fun was in the air alright! (and some hair too).
