Business in Michigan

I will be flying out of Portland International on Friday morning, heading to Michigan, for this:



Every year, my single biggest customer, Holiday Market, throws a huge customer appreciation BBQ. It's a free event for all of their loyal customers. They don't have the usual hot dogs and burgers either! They have representatives from Maple Leaf Duck, Adeils sausage, Jack Daniels BBQ, Foley Fish, Good Humor, Jones soda and their own house brands being sampled all day.

I have participated in this event for the past five years. This year we get top billing as the lead sponsor! We raffle off a gas BBQ grill, give away hats, Olympic collector pins, $2 off coupons and raffle off door prizes; The event is just a blast to work and be part of! I'll be on the grill cooking up Sirloin steak and Boneless chicken breast for sampling!

While I'm out grilling, Laura will be back in Eugene holding down the fort and cracking the whip on the Monaco factory guys! They had the slide out on the coach completely dismantled. It wasn't a pretty site! We're hoping to get some pics early next week.

I return to Eugene on Monday. Until then look for Laura to have some reports from the weekend!
