My favorite gig so far has been setting up at the Sierra Hull Bluegrass Festival in Byrdstown, TN. This was a 2 day event. I love bluegrass music and the people at this festival were just so dang nice :) They all made us feel like part of a big family and we have already marked our calendar for next years event.
November has been a big month for us. We were asked by the band to come and work the high school football game. This was by far our largest selling event. We cranked the machine up on high and it never stopped making donuts the entire game. Not only were we invited back for the following weeks game, but the tennis team at the same school voted to use us as their fall fundraiser. The tennis team took pre-orders for buckets of mini donuts and we set up on Friday morning to fill those orders (the same day and location of the football game). We wound up making donuts for 15 hours straight! The tennis team raised some money as did the band. We were both wore out, but happy that our little donuts were finally getting some recognition.
It is great when we hear "Hey, don't you make the little donuts? I love those things". Our next gig is at Sears for Black Friday. I'm not sure if we are ready, but last Friday sure broke us in good. I think we can handle about anything at this point!
We are having fun and spending time together as a family. It doesn't get much better than that.
