Make it SIMPLE. "Don't make it harder than it needs to be." (Tracy Williams' best tip- she's from HO) It's not necessary to make lots of PC recipes. I make 1 new on and maybe 1 other that could done ahead. I try to make sure the food part is done BEFORE they come, unless you're doing the demo. Display you entire kit..."look what I got for $155 plus sales tax!" You can have a chopping station, cutting/slicing station, etc...let THEM play with the tools. With the weather hot...an ice cream bar?
Good luck!
