For the 2007 season, Team 228 teamed up with a local neighborhood association group to sell pulled pork sandwiches at the
Meriden Daffodil Festival, a
HUGE parade and festival in our town that draws 200,000+ people every year. Some civic groups in the past have reported earning as much as $30,000 selling food and concessions at this event!
This past year, we've also had a car wash, a pasta dinner, and a pancake breakfast, all of which earned between $500 and $1000. In the coming months, we're planning on hosting another car wash and a possible can and bottle drive.
// Shameless plug: If you'll be at the Meriden Daffodil Festival in Connecticut on Saturday April 28 or Sunday April 29, 2007 and would like to support a fellow FIRST team, then be sure to stop by our food booth in the concessions tent!
