Recap of the 2007 Stroll Through History

Raspasdos (Snow Cone) Booth

The Financial News

We had $251.45 in sales (I think there is one bag of ice, paid from the till, not accounted for here, which explains the non-even number).

We had $209.69 in expenses, leaving us with $41.76 in profit. 

The largest expensis include $27.08 for 140 pounds of ice,  $60.81 for the snow cone machine, $28.00 for syrups and $24 for cups.

Suggestions

1. Need to work out electricity in advance of event.  (may prove difficult)
2. We had Raspberry, Cherry, Watermelon, Lime and Rootbeer syrups.  Cherry and Lime were the best sellers, rootbeer was the weakest.  Also had a number of requests for Stawberry and Grape.
3. Snowcones seemed to sell faster at 50 cents.
4. Permit needs to be obtained in June.  Also need a city special events business license (no charge for non-profits).
5. While the donation of tongue depressers and spoons was generous of the Corner Drug Store, spoons would have worked better.  Straws may have been good, too.
