The Purple Ranch Hands, minus the Mandy Puppy of course, just spent 3 fun filled days in the great town of Tomball, northwest of Houston. We set up the Purple Ranch booth with lightening speed (well if you think 4 hours is fast, then we did) and we were good to go. Mom, Dad, Sher, Bren, Cliff, and I were all selling, educating, and having a great time Friday night, all day Saturday and then again on Sunday. We were just pleased that we didn't start until noon on Sunday so that we could attend Sher's church, Fellowship at the Woodlands, on Sunday morning. http://www.fotw.org/default_fotw.asp. Anyway, we met a lot of great people and at last count had over 600 people in the Purple Ranch booth. No we didn't count the leaderhosen that walked in, that is based on the number of people that signed up for our free basket give a way. Of course we could have since there were definately a lot of German clothing to be had......
Each of us have specific duties while we are working a booth. Of course none of these were assigned, we just sorta fell into them. Mom is the lavender queen, so she sells and educates. Bren and Sher are lavender princesses and they are quite the sellers and educators as well. Dad helps with set up, tare down, and running errands for us.....must keep all the Ranch Hands hydrated and well feed at all times you know! Cliff helps with the art decoration, display, signage, and will jump in as well to educate the customers and never doubt at any moment that he will squirt some lavender lotion on your hands if you walk too close to the booth! I spent most of my time as the head cashier. Not sure how I got this job since I really am not that great with numbers, but oh well. During the down times (weren't too many this weekend), I hand wrote over 200 postcards thanking people for coming to the booth and for buying products. My hand is still killing me and the pretty blister I developed will heal in time. Don't you just love marketing?
Anyway, we will be in Rockwall in April, Dallas in May, and Waxahachie in June. So come see us....... Got Lavender?
