September 4 and 5, 2010
2010 is the Town of Bridgewater’s 175th birthday. In order to celebrate this exciting event the town had a 4 day celebration with a parade, historic home tours, town cook book, bands, a time capsule, a 5K race and lots of concessions as well as free carnival rides, a visit by the Royal Dukes Marching Band and fire works. Concessions? What a wonderful fundraising opportunity. So this time we decided to sell TACO Salads. “Buy some Taco Salads, buy some Taco Salads……” Katie and Kiersten could be heard all over Oakdale park advertising (they even got their picture in the Shenandoah Journal) delicious Taco Salads and it really paid off. We sold 290 salads or so, along with drinks, cookies and candy. Preparation of 70 lbs of ground beef, slicing of tomatoes, onions and lettuce took place each day for a few hours prior to the actual concession stand hours. Mrs. Nicholas’ kitchen was quite full. Who said that too many cooks in the kitchen is not good. It worked just fine for us.
