COOK - Trash, Beer, Marching Bands and an Old Friend

June 6th 2013


On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the road again, I find love is planning events with my friends, oh I can't wait to get on the road again...............

 Today we are off to visit with vendors.  We started the morning in the dumps, no really the first stop was to Hoosier trash where we met with Ron Howard (yes I said Ron Howard, again) about the trash plan.  You may recall an earlier post dedicated all to trash (if you didn't then go read it, it is quite interesting).  He was so proud of all his dumpster and had to show me everything, it was really kind of fun.... a little stinky but fun.

 Our Second stop was at Ivey Tech Blooming campus where we met up with and old friend of ours Tad Delay.  Tad was a chef for us back in the day working with mom.  He now teaches at Ivey Tech and we met with him and the department head to recruit chefs for day of event.

A quick stop for lunch at a Mexican place where everyone was watching soccer and we were off to Best Beers.  Another fun visit.  Love the guys there!!  We really feel comfortable working with them. And we even left with samples :-)  We placed our tentative order: 185 case of Budweiser, 552 cases of Bud Lite, 276 cases of Amstel Lite and 276 case of Heineken. That is a total of 1,289 cases of beer........... 30,936 Bottle of Beer. Reminds me of another song.................can you image, start there on your next road trip.

  Our last stop was to meet with the parent organizations of two local high school marching bands.  We are recruiting help for part of the event from them.  It is a fund raiser for them.... a win win for everyone.  COOK has a long history with marching band (In our past lives Vince and I did as well), and we are so happy to be supporting these organizations.

From here we head down to French Lick to talk with them about 2 events in November for 1000 guest each. But that will be a different blog at a different time :-)  Yep, we are going back to West Baden!
