not sure whether to put this in sales or bookings - but i just wanted to let everyone know about a show i am doing next week in light of all the interest in cooking with kids. i am doing a 5 year old cooking birthday party. there might be 20 kids - we are making individual pizzas, lemonade and cupcakes. the mom has purchased about $300 worth of products to use for the party - which i didn't expect - and that includes favors we are making from pc items. she is paying me a flat fee for my time and reimbursing me for all the supplies. it's not your typical party - but it is a great way to get exposure, make some cash and reach out to people who might never have or go to a party. this mom now wants to plan a kids' cooking lesson party for the kids in the fall - the great idea i got from this website!! anyways - just wanted to let you know about another option for your business.
