I was sitting at my desk Thursday afternoon about 2:00 pm feeling sorry for myself.  I had two weekends and no bookings.  I was just about ready to pick up the phone and call Jason to see if he, Nancy and the kids were doing anything for the weekend.  A long overdo trip to spoil the grandchildren seemed just the ticket.  Plus, Grant's 4th birthday is only a week away. Before I could make the call, my phone rang. It was Todd and Danny from Americrown at the Raceway.  "Anyway you can get to Richmond for the Craftsmen Classic this weekend?.  We have a concession stand in the Exhibition Hall that you can use,"  they said. The Craftsmen Classic is a huge arts and crafts show that has been at the Raceway for years and an event I've longed to get in. "Sure,"  I responded.  "Somehow, I'll be there." I madly got on the phone, called Peggy and Kaitlyn, arranged a schedule with Jean, and did some quick shopping.  I was on the road at 5:00 pm on my way back to Richmond. Since I was in the Exhibition Hall, the same building where Americrown has their cafeteria, I could only offer a limited menu so as not to compete directly against them.  They do burgers, fries, dogs and bar-b-que.  So my menu had only Funnel Cakes, Crepes, Ribeye Sandwiches, Corn Dogs and Lemonade.  But, I was in the Classic.  And, it was really nice to work out of a concession stand for a change.  Of course, Big Red was outside and I had to do the cooking there, but the girls had it a little better even though they had to do the running in the weather. Unfortunately, the weather was crappy.  Rained, snowed, sleeted and God knows what else the whole weekend.  But it was still a good show.  Especially with funnel cakes. We did better than three of the last four shows at the Raceway.  No too bad for a bonus weekend. Peggy did exceptionally well with Crepes and we actually sold more than at all of the shows combined since we added them to the menu.  She's gotten quite good with them. I tried to take a few pictures but they turned out terrible.  So Kaitlyn stole the camera again on Sunday to take a few for posterity.  Of course, she's in most of them. It was great to see Lemonade John and his crew again.  You may remember him from back in the Fredericksburg Auto Auction days and several of the shows with Noah and TJs.  He had a good show with his nuts (Georgetown Nut Company). Right now, my plans for the week are iffy.  I have meetings with the Richmond Kickers and the Potomac Nationals.  Is Professional Soccer and Professional Baseball in the future for Big Red?  Plus, ACS is on the ball and so far has booked something like a dozen events.  With the races at Richmond and everything else going on, things are looking quite busy for the next couple of months.  If all goes well, after the Nationals meeting Wednesday afternoon, I'm heading for Louisville to spoil the grandkids and celebrate Grant's birthday.
