This is the one tag and challenge that I always make a point of joining, and also look through the posts of others that join the challenge and seeing markets from all around the world.

For this weeks post, a follow on in a way from last weeks post where I showed some shots of the rides at the Whaling City Festival held recently here in Buttonwood Park.

In that post I mentioned how I was there before the rides opened and people where around and doubted I would go back to it, but as it happened i forgot about the Car show they have on the Sunday as part of this festival, and I do like visiting that and checking it out.

I did the same last year and got there early morning as cars where starting to arrive and the carnival not open as yet, but this year I went around midday and when I got to the end of the car show I saw the street of vendors, well there was a couple of streets of them, but I only walked this one and will share some of the vendors today

Starting with this stall of the Army National Guard

It may look busy from these photos but there was plenty of people walking along the vendors and I tried to get shots of the vendors when gaps in people opened up

this tent was for the American veteran Nation a group that support Veterans, I spoke to them briefly and gave a donation

Next up the Go Army tent, you may notice a theme to the first three shots, well that's probably because I was in the army for 12 years all be it the NZ army

Also in my travels I worked in Rwanda just after the genocide there so seeing this tent reminded me of my time there

As I said I tried to avoid getting shots of people, incase I get looks like this
