Come early, come often...

There was some crazy timing this past Saturday. I was a maid of honor in a wedding...out of town...the weekend right after the article in the Star ran! Arg. NOT good timing. Luckily I called upon my faithful and hardworking friends Jenn, Monina and Tate to run the snow cone trailer...and they did a bang up job.

I made almost two times the amount of syrup that I usually do, optimistically anticipating some new customers from the Star article...and sure enough! They came. In troves. Which is great...

What is not great, is that a handful of people were left out in the cold (er...heat) because we sold out of syrup within 4 hours due to the huge new crowd of people...and it started to rain. So my apologies to anyone who missed out on the snow cones this Saturday.

This event made me realize that I need to let people know that ALL THE SYRUPS ARE HOMEMADE AND FRESH. So the good part is that you get an all natural treat without the dyes and aftertaste...but due to them being homemade and perishable, once they are gone, they're gone. I keep making more and more to do my best to accomodate my customers, but I have to set limits in order to keep the quality of my product as high as possible.

The long and short of it? COME EARLY, COME OFTEN! Because we often sell out.

And please feel free to check for updates on Facebook and Twitter. We commonly reveal Daredevil Specials via these forums, and we'll make sure to post when we've sold out in the future.
