We totaled 6 batched of cookies on the day. Set up a little table at the end of our drive way and shouted, "would you like a free cookie" to anyone who passed by. (Well, not really shouted, although, it was close once Jeshie joined us ;)
It was so great to see people's faces light up as they asked, "Are you for real, free?" Not everyone responded that way. A good number turned us down, which is fine, but who turns down a free cookie haha. Other common responses:
"Are they laced with something?" Jenny started to say yes, which didn't deter anyone haha
"I love you!" This was my favorite :)
We even got one passerby to give us a little dance performance in return for his cookies. Both on the way to and from his tailgate.
Now, are cookies were completely free to anyone, but some were just to generous they wanted to give back. We got live strong bracelets from one man, a dollar from another, and one kind women decided she wanted to show her appreciation by donating two tampons she had picked up at the gas station.
Oliver had to make an appearance too, and he was the reason we had half the business we did, I think
We had so much fun meeting people and baking cookies for 5 hours, we decided that we will be out there every home game, so if you feel like you want a free cookie or two come on over to the greenhouse, we'll have plenty. They are completely free, but gifts or donations of ALL kinds will be accepted! Our favorite is a big fat smile. :) GO Hawks!
