On a more positive note, here is one event we had last week. It is the second year for it and the vendors, community and contestants all love it. http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=20463987&BRD=1160&PAG=461&dept_id=190958&rfi=6 For those who don't want to go to the story, it is a Grill-Off. It is based loosely on the Food Network Show "Chopped". There are 4 mystery ingredients and all other produce and meat has to come from the market and is purchased that day. Then the contestants prepare a meal in 45 minutes to serve the judges. We get the community involved by using donated spices from a local Kitchen store and other pantry items from the local grocery store. This year we had three local sponsors give us the $1,000 it took to put on the event. A local bank, Communication Company and the Local Farm Bureau. The whole contest was filmed by a local cable company and they will put it on their "On-Demand" services. All in all, it was a great day. Sales were up for all vendors, $300 over the previous week for me. Last year sales stayed higher for over a month. We also had two front page stories in the newspaper and had a live remote from the local radio station.
