Busy, busy weekend. Good indicators of Summer being well on
its way.
This weekend if you had explored the “Get Growing” Home and
Garden Show in Creemore you may have found yourself bombarded with free popcorn
from Happenings.
Amongst the tractors, trailers, solar panels, and temporary
garden and landscaping booths, we stood sheltered under our 10’x10’ frame tent.
We connected with other local business owners, discussing the show, economy and
marketing strategies. We spoke with passerby’s, handed out our new inventory,
price list brochures and pens baring our name and number.
The popcorn was a hit. Kids put out the fire at our fireman
carnival game, while adults looked over (what we could fit in the booth of) our linen, table and accessory inventory. Collections were donated to the Tree Society of Creemore, a
volunteer organization “committed to preserving and promoting beauty in [their]
tree-lined streets”.
Thanks goes out to anyone who came out to visit.
During the show we also had a crew in Hillsdale for Geoshack, our
first decent sized job of the year. The winds were tough and the ground was
denser than diamond, though we still managed to raise a 30’x30’ Navi-Track
Frame and four 10’x10’ frames. Props to the boys who spent their Sunday to
3-man-wield the gas pounder just to get the stakes to stand on their own.
