Special Sampling Tomorrow...

I’m doing another sampling tomorrow - my 86th since stores opened up in August 2021 (albeit slowly) to in-store food tastings after the worst of the COVID pandemic. Why haven’t I posted an announcement to my social media?

Well, I’m sampling at the Coast Guard Exchange off of W. 140th St. The CGX is open only to members of the US Coast Guard and certain honorably-discharged veterans (I don’t recall the exact requirements, and I couldn’t find them easily on their website!). My distributor was able to get Smokin’ Bettie’s products there, and I already demo’ed there once before. But it’s not open to the general public, I know that! That’s why I didn’t put out a general announcement through social media.

At the end of that first demo, the manager on duty asked me if I could return on 11/11, knowing that it was Veteran’s Day. I was honored to asked, and I’ll be there for three hours tomorrow. I have no military experience in my background, but my family and I do have some experience that helps us understand what members in the military go through. So again, I’m honored to have been asked to give out samples on Veteran’s Day, and if my first demo is any indication, we’ll move lots of product.

So Semper Paratus! And I know there will be other demos coming up soon, so keep checking these pages!
