Is it really mid September? How does the time fly by? Well, I guess it happens when you are really involved with what you are doing, which is a good thing! Steve and I were busy in August for sure! First the Portland, Oregon Hot Sauce Expo started the month! The day before we left, I won tickets to the VIP tent and had a chance to meet the organizers of the event, Steve and Lisa Seabury of Brooklyn, NY! Great people! As luck would have it, our Old Agness Store Brownies that we brought as gifts for the vendors and VIPers made their way on the Stage of Doom for the Sweet Heat Eating Competition! I gotta say, I felt a sense of accomplishment! What next for next year?
The following week, we participated as Old Agness Store at the Brookings, OR Pirates of the Pacific Festival. What a terrific event! The organizers, Bruce Ellis and Mike Moran, could not have been nicer and the Pirate Costumes were just incredible. Much attention went to each garb and I couldn't help but think what the ghosts of pirates past at this harbor thought of these current fellows as they promenaded on the boardwalk of the Southern Oregon Coast? Great Event!
Next, jump in the car again to the California Hot Sauce Expo in Anaheim! We met up with new and old friends and connected with a bunch of new vendors! Our orders of new Sauces are beginning to arrive and will be featured on our Pepper Patch page of our shop- https://shop.oldagnessstore.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=65. We will be set up with our beautiful newbies I think the next couple of weeks! They will have a place next to our super tried and true with some great surprises from Drew’s Chilli Company in particular!
Then! Hanging around the pool for 5 full days at Steve’s sister’s home! I could seriously get used to that! We had a beautiful drive home to find an Evacuation Level Two sign plastered to our gate! Vacation Over!!! It took a bit of time for my mind to wrap itself around… “Be ready to leave with 20 minutes notice at any point in time!” OK! Ouch! Bags packed and ready to go! 1400 Fire Fighters and literally tons of equipment to keep the fire away from our little town…” and Life Goes On…” How do you say Thank You to all the Fire Fighters that make that statement true?
