I was interviewed and photographed today to be the front page story of our local papers Business section next week, things must be slow...lol.....Mixed feeling here.....Hoping it doesnt bring the world of inspection to my door on a daily basis!! But am hopeful it DOES bring work, leading to a need to expand during the coming off season!!
I dont believe in "luck", but am hopeful those of you that do, will wish good upon me! Shocked Confused Very Happy I'll let ya'll know what happens!

A few of the old timers at that gig probably wanted to put me in their sites 30 years ago, now they want me around more often!

Thank you MyrandaMaesBBQ, Looks like I just found a new spot to set up, right off I-43 in the town of Belgium. The guy wants no rent, knows I will draw attention to his car business, even offered to wire the building so I can plug in Cool Just a day or 2 a week this fall, but next year, who knows!
A couple hoops to jump thru, small permit fee etc....its nice to be wanted...[.insert mushy emoticon here...] Embarassed Confused

Thanks Jeff, I finally stopped and picked up an actual paper copy, article takes up 2 pages, even has an elongated picture of my wood... Embarassed pile that is! Rolling Eyes

Now I can stop all these "promoters" from egging me to give practically free meals cuz its "good publicity" - this is tons of publicity!!!

The gig I did yesterday was supposed to have included me in the promoters newsletter, on their website and more - turns out, they "forgot"......they think they're getting another cheap meal for 100 in a month or so, they may be in for a surprise!! Twisted Evil
