January 2020... life has just calmed down after the holidays, finally settling back into a normal routine. 1-year-old running around playing with all new toys, 3rd-trimester nesting in full swing, looking forward to welcoming his baby sister soon and a full summer filled with gigs for your dream business, then...
BOOM!!!! COVID - FREAKING - 19!!!
At first, it seems like no big deal, wash your hands and you’ll be fine, we live in a small community and don’t think it’ll affect us here. Then every day it is growing and more restrictions being added, new symptoms, longer incubation periods, longer isolation times, and then...
QUARANTINE!
What does this mean for the baby due in 3 weeks?
What does this mean for friends and family near and far?
Thankfully baby made it safely into the world, and all are healthy and well, near and far!
So then the question remains, what about the gigs scheduled in 3 weeks?
CANCELED!
(Surely, once June hits everything will go back to normal)
CANCELED, CANCELED, & CANCELED AGAIN!!!
The way that it’s looking we start to give up on the idea of making any money with the business this summer.
BUT WAIT,
“When life gives you lemons!” Right?
Well, we didn’t make any lemonade, but our community sure did!
When all seemed lost for us for the summer, everything starts slowly opening back up, we schedule 2 events back to back, thinking if we break even it’ll be a win, at least we’re out there doing what we love! But then...
Baseball Game Sponsorship- SELL OUT!
(Made great money to support them for their season to come)
Farmers Market- SELL OUT!
(Better than any single night last year!)
But wait, there’s more!
“Hey, do you want to set up here?”
“Can you come do concessions for ball here?”
“If you need a place to set up that weekend, come do it at our place!”
“We have a wedding next August”
“If you’re available?”
Y’ALL, Small Communities are AMAZING!!
The love and support that has been sent our way over the past few weeks is tremendous! We went from almost everything being canceled, to an extremely busy summer!
Thank you Barton county!!! We could not be happier to be able to do what we love and make people happy in the process!
SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES, they are the ones who will have your back when “life gives you lemons” or COVID-19!
