It was an early start, Saturday 4th of August, for us Kei Te Pai members, all awake, dressed and eagerly waiting at 6 am in the morning for our voyage to the Ohope Markets, where we were to participate in the official YES Trade Fair. We were the only YES group outside on this cold rainy day but we were prepared for the worst. Our stall looked awesome we had our product well presented and created the true Marae enviroment (we made our gazebo appear as a Marae, we even allowed a neigbouring stall move in when the rain came down. True Whanau Whanau).Matthew and Alicia were dressed in traditional Kapa Haka costumes/piupius and bodice to resemble Tama our cartoon animation. We spent three hours split into pairs taking on different roles eg. walking around, approaching and selling our product to random people at the Market. "I was so nervous, talking to complete strangers but I had such pride in our product it was bearable" ,"It was a lot of fun, and definately worth doing again." Images will be available at a later date also we do not know the results of the Trade Fair but will keep you posted.
