Trade Fair Randomness

I went to the ECOWAS (Economic Community of West African States) Trade Fair a few weeks ago.  I had high hopes - I thought this would be the craft fair event of the year!  Nope.  Here are a few pics, mostly humorous.  You need to pay special attention to the traditional African pharmacy.  I only have two pics below but they were in abundance here.  All natural remedies for any ails you might have. Even a product to enhance your behind (I was informed they like that here).  I spoke with a 'pharmacist' at length and if nothing else, it was a good laugh.  Funny stuff!  



Nice signage

This signage...well, not as nice - but the same basic prescriptions.  :)

A couple of models

Even wedding dresses

Look at all these earrings - mix and match

This gentleman was 'burning' on to hide - and doing a great job!

Most of the items at the fair were local and I was hoping for more variety and goods from the other West African countries.  Better luck next time.
