Yep, this was the weekend that rummage sale fanatics wait for. The Folkfest Parade kicked off the morning, the Pow Wow ran all weekend, and the rummage sales were going full blast through it all. I, of course, used it as a perfect opportunity to get as far away from any residential neighborhoods as possible! The rummage sale traffic is characterized by zoned-out gapers who think nothing of coming to a complete stop in the middle of a busy street. I’m not an angry driver, but these people try my patience. Therefore, my camera and I spent the weekend shooting photos in the periphery.

I did see this sign near downtown Bismarck. I thought it was kind of inventive, even if it wasn’t even remotely true. While it made me smile, it wasn’t nearly as outrageous as the first photo above, taken at a street corner in Mandan. Most of the signs posted thereon were unreadable because of the more recent arrivals! It summed up the weekend pretty well, that’s for sure.

I had such an amazing weekend with my camera, and you can expect the results of my adventures to trickle in from day to day. Stay tuned!
