Rocky Construction firing up the BBQ for another lively night
They are called "Fifty Cents".... but they put in a million dollars' worth of effort - try their delicious BBQ squid
Every home should have one... or two... or three. Chloe and partner selling environmentally-friendly solar-powered lanterns. The little ones give enough light to read comfortably and the big ones can even charge your mobile phone. No more batteries..... ever! 
Occasionally the adults allow the children to enjoy the bouncy castle.
Hafoti sell my favourite cassava and carrot chips and fine coconut oil, chili sauce and other great local products
Girasol bringing on the satay and katupa - get there early as they sell out every week

A helpful hint for mothers - buy the children the ice cream from Blue Ocean AFTER they have been in the bouncy castle. All that jumping up and down..... you can imagine why.
