The food business is a competitive and tough one. Having made the switch from our usual game stalls to set up Mike Lee Burgers, Corn Cup, Pop Corn, Cotton Candy & Hannah Painting proved to be a healthy change. Breaking away from our usual mold. For once we were fighting with all the seasoned aunties, whipping up all sorts of delightful dishes you can expect at a Food & Fun Fair.
The 'fun' element was noticeably missing and highlighted to us by parents and kids alike. When asked "Where are the game stalls?", we had to turn them away saying "This year there is none! The youth are selling food!" A couple of kids walked away looking disappointed and while we had our tasks at hand to complete, next year we will probably bring games back.
The CORN people: Kim, Annette & myself on Corn Cup and Valy at the Pop Corn. His magic hands help sell quite a bit of our corn!

Our cozy corner - aka. the corner right at the far end... Also notice we had to re-do another Mike Lee Burger poster - apparently the REAL Ramly Burger was on site. We didn't want any copyright sue.
It turned out that the Hannah Painting (cost price of materials at $2) turned our to be our best profit margin item. Rachael did over 20 art work at $2 each. Corn Cup had a slower then expected sale. Toward the end, we had a sell out for our stores, thankfully for the crowd from the 12:30pm mass. Numerous stalls had already ended by then.
