Dorito worked until 10 pm with Andrew and Jacob helping out. Of course, Saturday was a long day, but the pleasant weather made for steady crowds. Today was slowest of all, but it was only open from noon-5:00 pm. Then clean-up -- and eating the remaining chocolate marshmallows with their own choice of toppings!

Concession Stand
Dorito had a concession stand at PumpkinFest this weekend to earn the remaining money needed for his Eagle Scout service project. His "Sweet Stix" booth sold 103 caramel apples and 121 jumbo s'mores. By borrowing the tent from Robertsons and a few supplies from other friends, he learned quickly about profits, salesmanship, and economics through this experience. Friday included set-up with the twins while I was at a meeting. The wind gusts were terrible but concrete blocks and duct tape seemed to hold everything down.
