Tonight is the Inglewood Night Market, brought to you once again by that superior team of local creative types, find it. And - the weather forecast is stormy. Why does this seem to happen to us every time? I had to write this little comic strip about how ridiculous this is getting.
To see some photos of our volunteers (most of whom have braved the elements on numerous occasions to make this super cool event happen), take a look here. Don't let the pictures fool you. I chose the sunniest pictures to trick people into thinking that coming out to volunteer for us would be a warm walk in the park. In fact, it is a really great event with wonderful people, but let's just face it, you're going to get rained on, hailed on, swept away by a windstorm, or something like that, at least once. So why pretend otherwise? Hence this little comic strip so that folks will find out the real truth about volunteering at the Night Market.

If this tale of adventure whets your appetite for danger and excitement, feel free to show up early (say anytime starting around 3 PM) and lend a hand to the volunteers who are getting things set up. Chances are they may need extra bodies to keep the tents from blowing away. Chocolate is always good too. Or better yet, send them a note at volunteers@finditcalgary.ca and check to see if you can help out. The more umbrellas, the merrier.
In case you're wondering, the market is still on - rain or shine! So be brave! Come out. We'll see you there!
By the way - I put an asterisk next to "derring-do" because I thought I'd write a little explanation at the bottom for folks who aren't familiar with that quaintest of terms. But I forgot, so those of you who don't know what derring-do means will just have to come down to the market and find out!
