It was a hard lesson learned and a $140 tent ruined. 
I'm wishing you beautiful weather though and lots of success at your show! |
This just happened to me this weekend, though my stuff was all saved. It was during the busiest time, so I missed out on a lot of sales. It was for a local festival and I had good samaritans holding my tent down while I grabbed all of my bows. My friend's brother worked for the city so he came out to help (truck lights flashing and all) and brought us some cement blocks to tie down the frame. The next day it stayed put.
