New professionally made signs provided visibility to our customers.\u00a0 A sign on the roof, sandwich boards in front and on the building, and flags were an attractive addition.\u00a0 Many thanks to Treasurer Laura Griffeth for securing the new signage.<\/p>\n

Also new this year was our ability to accept credit cards from our customers with the Square app program.\u00a0 Many customers took advantage of this opportunity.\u00a0 Using the Square allowed us to better track sales each day.\u00a0 By tracking our sales,\u00a0we can see how much of each item was sold,\u00a0daily totals, and what days where the best sales days.<\/p>\n

Working at the food booth gives County Ag Agents the opportunity to work together and get to know each other from all parts of the state.\u00a0 Time spent in the food booth can be exhausting but\u00a0at the end of day its a fun\u00a0and rewarding time.\u00a0 Join us next year in the food booth on October 16-18, 2018.\u00a0 Many thanks to Treasurer Forrest Connelly for all of his efforts for another successful year at the GACAA food booth.<\/p>\n
