MarketFriday by @Dswigle: Night Market and Music Festival

20190830-162844.jpg
My wife is a teacher at the Pretoria School for cerebral palsied learners, they have fundraisers from time to time. For this fundraiser they had a Gourmet Hamburger Stand at SONOP, which is a men's residence at the University of Pretoria. SONOP, had a Night market and music festival which was their own fund raiser.

SONOP is one of the older hostels of the University, which consists of a main building and a number of small annexes!!

I took a number of photos of the annexes - you will note a lot of signs on them, all of these signs are actually stolen!! This is part of this residence's culture, to steal signs and put them up on their buildings!!

I loved the look and feel of this place, and it was really interesting and sometimes funny to read all the signs!!

Below is directions to the Cradle of Humankind - I believe you will never find it by following this sign!!

Below is some of the teachers busy setting up the hamburger stall!!

Below is a sample of how the Hamburgers will look like - each burger is however unique as people could choose and build their own burger with the ingredients they love!!

Below is the area where the band played and the people could sit and relax, while eating the food and drinks they bought at the market.

The hamburger stall became rather busy at times!!

The stalls looked quite nice when it became dark and business was quite good!!

Below is a video of the area where the people listened to the music.

Three of the teachers spouses, I was one of them, prepared the sausages and onions that went into the hamburgers. We had a great time and lots of fun, making and selling the hamburgers.

This is my contribution to MarketFriday, hosted by @dswigle, why don't you head over to her page and read about all the nice markets???

I love the building with all those signs, reminds me back to my Army days decades ago when soem of my army mates would dot he same ( not saying whether i ever added tot he collection or not lOL)

Yes, it was amazing just to look at all the old signs, I was actually tempted to take one of the signs with me, but in the end decided against it!!
