Business Showcase

Yesterday we attended a business showcase event put on by the Chamber of Commerce. Nearly 60 local businesses or organizations were represented and it was very good. Many of the booths had an opportunity to sign up to win something. There was a sort of bingo card contest with a drawing. You had to get a sticker or some indication that you had visited every booth and then you could enter your card in the drawing. We visited every booth but only Martha got stickers so she was entered in the drawing. We both signed up at many booths for the local drawings and lo and behold Martha was called last evening and informed that she had "won". The prize was a cook out kit with everything one might need to have a cookout. It included plates and cups and a stainless set of grilling tools including a fork with built in meat thermometer. There was also a Superhero blanket with a superman emblem, (that was their motif). There was even a Smore oven with the graham crackers, marshmallows, and Hershey bars. It all came contained in a blue picnic basket with the vendors name on it. It was and is very nice. There was also a gift card at a local supermarket to get some meat to go with the picnic stuff. We will get a lot of use out of it. The picture below is what it looked like.
