Rocky Mountain Concessions... need I say more? Double click the images to view our menu.
On Saturday I worked for 16.5 hours! I'm fairly certain that's the longest I have ever stayed standing. Granted, we do take short sit-down breaks through out the day, it still feels like a long time. We had a buffet for the 4-H buyers (lifestock sale) this morning and fed about 240 people. I got to work with some of the 4-H girls that were in highschool and a few of their little brothers. They were very sweet and gave me a little insight into the world of 4-H and the lifestock business. Concessions stayed steady and just as I thought we might be ready to close up, the fair shut down and an influx of people suddenly wanted food for their way out. The 10 p.m. rush was bigger than the dinner rush!
We went home for about 7 hours and then went back to work for another 12 hours. Sunday was a lot slower than the rest of the weekend. Paul put me in charge of the brunch buffet that we offered as a special Sunday deal. I took their money, made sure there was enough food in the chafing dishes, replaced the sternos, refilled coffee and OJ, testing the quality of the food, and basically anything else that people wanted or needed. I'm better at front of the house work than at back of the house work. I like public relations and sales. We had about 100 people go through the buffet line. The fair closed down around 5 so most of the afternoon and evening was spent breaking down the business. We donated all of the leftover bread & buns to a local food pantry.
Overall, I made an extra $650 which was definately worth the hard work! That should be sufficient funding to do some traveling and maybe even get me home in time to go back to school.
