Main Street Mania

Main Street Mania. It sounds like it would be intense and carnival-esque, right? Well it isn't, but it's still pretty cool. Basically all the shops in downtown Newton have sidewalk sales, and other businesses (such as Mojo's), set up carts. Leah and I spent the afternoon at a coffee cart in the sweltering heat selling tasty iced drinks and baked goods. It's about a fifteen minute bike ride from our house, so we went early and walked around a little bit before we started.




Leah and I are practically twins. Today we were wearing the same shoes (but in different colors) and each other's clothes. This could be dangerous.







It was really, really hot. Luckily we had a lot of ice available, and we were in the shade the whole time.



After our shift we stopped at Prairie Harvest, one of the shops downtown and got dinner. I had vegetarian Cajun Beans & Rice, and it was sooo good. Not even just because I was really hungry from standing in the heat all day. It was just really good. Our friend Emma ate with us too, and we all split a piece of their amazing carrot cake.



It wasn't the busiest day ever, but we'll be out there again tomorrow, and then again on Saturday! So don't worry, you still have a chance to come on out :)
