RE: Market Friday

Haha! I love that guy's look! :) I am sure you aren't the first nor the last that will catch him. I have never had anyone really annoyed when I get a shot I didn't mean to. Fortunately, it usually ends well.

Seems like there was a plethora of Army there! Do they have a campaign going? There is a big military presence here, so there is always high visibility going on, but normally it is just onesies, twosies in a town.

Nice show, nevertheless and I do love these small-town shows of different agendas. This must have been a fun day!

Thanks always for being part of the challenge!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday

I must say I was kind of amused when I saw his look but he never said anything so it was all good

I did wonder about all the military spots not sure why that was

A push for the Army, I would guess. With good reason...

Recruitment numbers continue to decline across the nation impacting several branches of the military. The Army missed its recruiting mission for Fiscal Year 2022 by 25% or 15,000 soldiers, and more branches are expecting recruiting shortfalls for this fiscal year which ends September 30th.

That could well be it maybe they are hitting all such events
