This is why Saturday Market requires booth weights.

Take down, yesterday afternoon. Negar, a neighboring jeweler, had packed up her stock, struck her tables and collected her booth weights to load up, then gone to the parking structure to bring down her car. All according to best practices, per Market.

While she was gone, a gust of wind picked up her booth, flipped it over a 40-inch stone wall, and dropped it on its side beneath the magnolia tree on the other side.

No damage, fortunately, but she was very surprised when she got back.
