Today didn’t go as planned.🌩️💦💨

Just as vendors were finishing setup, a storm rolled through downtown Gretna. Tents were damaged, products were lost. That part makes us feel quite heavy.

But what happened next was a beautiful reminder of what makes this community so special.

Vendors helped vendors clean up. Shoppers who found themselves sheltering inside local businesses jumped in to lend a hand. Downtown businesses came out to assist with cleanup. Neighbors helped neighbors. Strangers helped strangers.

We are incredibly grateful that no one was injured.

Today could have been defined by the storm. Instead, it was defined by the people.

To our vendors, shoppers, downtown businesses, and everyone who stepped up when help was needed—thank you. Your kindness, teamwork, and willingness to help one another was amazing!

We are proud to be part of this community.

See you on the bricks next week. ❤️
