This year we took advantage of utilizing the option for customers to pay by credit card by using the Pay Anywhere app in an effort to boost our sales. We hosted five “Show and Sell” events between Bass Pro Shop, Wards Drive In and Stewarts (Barneveld and Holland Patent). The scouts sold $1,432 in popcorn and collected $ in donations. Of the $1,432 sold, $120 was sold using our new credit card option. Thank you to all the scouts who participated in the Show & Sell Events. Currently we only have 8 Cinnamon Crunch Tins left for product, therefore, we will not have a Show & Sell Event for this Saturday. We can use this product for our personal orders. Please continue taking orders for the fundraiser using your sales sheet. All order sheets must be turned in to Natalie by October 26th. Delivery of the popcorn is November 18th in which you will need to pick-up your orders. The time and place will be communicated at a later date. Everyone’s help and support with selling popcorn is greatly appreciated. The money raised during this event will help provide funds for the various scout activities we plan throughout the year.
