1 Jun 2013 We celebrated our 2nd year at the market this morning. Prep included Friday night juicing, last minute provisions from CITC, and getting up waaay before dawn. The weather has turned a little stormy, and locals were bundled up accordingly. Mayhem started on time, with the help from Der Nice Corner - who added Eels and Panthers logos to the options for cheek painting in advance of this afternoon’s premier final. It was a treat for us to see Vaka Puaikura regulars who we haven’t seen since our night market… er, days. Junior netballers grabbed a free pic. before their games, and we traded a free photo strip for some spring onions. Meitaki to everyone who has come to the booth over the past 2 years, we hope to see you again soon :).

25 May 2013 The weather was very 'Spring-y' today - rain then sun, rainbows – then rain + sun. Plenty of up-for-it visitors to the island came to the ‘all weather’ booth, some here supporting the Film Raro Challenge crews. We chatted to regular boothers; some back on the Rock after a break; others bringing visiting family and friends down to the market. We also gave away a few of our booth event booking info cards – hourly hire, unlimited photos! See you next week for our special 2nd boothday celebration :).

18 May 2013 The endless Raro summer continued at the market this morning - with temperatures in the late 20s. Thanks to Maire, we now have a porta-cot for Aroko - which provided some free entertainment for our junior boothers. We met big family groups, couples with future wedding plans, and locals who have just discovered the booth. Meitaki ma'ata :).

11 May 2013 A beautiful autumn morning for the market. Nice and cool first thing - which helps with putting the booth together. We’ve noticed a trend of market-goers stopping to talk to/tickle Aroko, rather than actually taking pix… Nicolas and Troydyn lent us a hand creating an island booth voucher for Der Nice Corner (face-painting). Families on vacation, groups celebrating birthdays, and hot couples hit the booth today, meitaki ma'ata.

4 May 2013 Adjusting our clocks for AST (Aroko Standard Time), we were almost running to schedule this market. We’re still learning to juggle our pepe and boothing duties, so metaki to everyone who on seeing a queue, returned to see us later in the day. We took Mother’s Day pix (still time to grab a shot next week), caught up with regular boothers, plus commemorated visiting family and friends. The day concluded with a cunning guerrilla marketing ploy by Pastor Ngarima George - who emerged, just as world-weary vendors were packing up, with a arm full of fresh hot coconut donuts and an irresistible sales pitch. We’re onto you Mr George :).
