    Default Young Love Maple Farmers Market Debut

    My 6 year-old Nathan pretty much ran the whole show today. Sold a fair amount of syrup, some maple candy and some maple-spiced pecans. We gave away a couple bottles worth of free samples and people really enjoyed that. People liked the free recipes as well.

    That's really nice. I bet your boy had fun. Where did you buy the custom covering?

    He had a blast talking to the customers and explaining things to them. They got a kick out of it too.

    EZ-UP printed the tent and table cover. Excellent company to deal with.
