Trinity Church's Fourth of July Popcorn Stand July 4,
2010
*************
The afternoon was one of New
England's usual dog-days of summer - Hazy, Hot and Humid!
The Trinity Church Gang arrived, on time, at Leary Field on Bacon
Street in Waltham, at 4:00pm. Betsy, Jay and Jakob Bailey, the
newlyweds Dennis and Joanie Bernhardt, and her son Frank Rivera,
Doris and Bob Rhodes, Monica Strickland, Allen Batchelder, Reverend
Howard and Dana Frisbee. Even Chris Maynard and Paul Farmer came to
help out. Many hands make light work, and we had the stand up and
running in about 10 minutes after our arrival, the first batch of
popcorn ready for sale in moments after the electricity was provided
by the city.
The crowds started out small (probably because of the heat), but
soon swelled, and the sales were on! Bottle after bottle of soft
drinks and water were exchanged for dollars. Bag after bag of tasty
popcorn, prepared by master popcorn-popper Jay Bailey, were also
exchanged for cold, hard cash. The sales were hot and heavy until
the beautiful display of fireworks began!
We ran out of all the coke and sprite we had, and about 200
bottles of cold water. All we had left were several cans of diet
coke and sprite zero.
At the end of the night, we had a profit of a resounding
$721.00!!
Thanks to all who helped out with this project! Everyone who came
seemed to have a good time, in spite of the heat.
Watch for our next project, and join in. You might be surprised
at how much you might enjoy yourself!
