Rona, short staffed, didn't make it through the lock down, etc?

We brought lunch. Glad we did as the lines were long and a lot of time would have been wasted in line for food rather than looking for goodies. We sat on a big concrete block by the J. C. Tailor Ins. tent enjoying some rather large peaches and we were asked if we got them at Hershey. The answer of course was no. Lot's of folks were looking which brings me around to the thought that an old Fruit peddler's truck loaded with good fruit would do well. It would be fast sales as you don't have to wait for any of it to cook. It is healthier than the 10 fire alarm heart attack stuff in most concessions trailers. And there seemed to a a clientele that was interested.

Yes, I was told that help was hard to get and the food places were understaffed. A lot did not show because they could not guarantee that they would have enough help to run the place sufficiently. Seems to be that way all over the country in the food business especially. Dandy Dave!

It was also rumored that HERCO raised the rent for some food and other vendors to $600.00 per space per day. If so, no doubt that was a contributing factor to the absence of some previous vendors.

Well the gyro place by the stairs can take the rest of the year off! Those folks worked their tails off- walked by one night at 9:30 and they were still in there cleaning up.

We knew something was off when Dale's spaces were empty. Great family, good food & ice cream. They were trained to start pouring coffee as soon as they saw me. Really missed seeing all of them. Bob
