I met with President Michelle and her board the Monday before their largest event of the year for them: Punkin Chunkin. Michelle has a ton of energy... The ladies were in full event mode and I learned a lot about the 'behind the scenes' that makes an event of this size happen. It is estimated 3-5,000 spectators will be present. They raise 5 $1000 scholarships from this event.
I am looking forward to this Saturday when I participate as their Grand Marshall. The place we met was the Blue Ribbon Grill and Bar. This is a neat place in that the ownership began to realize that the demographic of their patrons changed (meaning more families and high school kids), so they dropped the alcohol out of the 'bar' and went to a soda/float bar and their business has gone up! Good food and great concept.
