NOT SO "EASY UP"

When my wife first got interested in selling her excellent crafts, we tried setting up a booth at a Farmer's Market (there actually was a little produce). It was located on the parking lot of our church. Because even in winter the Yuma sun can be a bother for shoppers, we were advised to get a folding canopy. Talk about false advertising: the canopy was labeled "Easy Up". In the dark of the early morning hours we never could quite figure out how to get the canopy up. We asked for help several times from the people running the event but when they got tired of that and used a derogatory comment about us we folded up our partially erected canopy and left. The canopy, luckily, went back to Walmart and we have not tried “canopy erection” since.
