Champaign, OH:  Let The Good Times Roll

Let the good times roll…
Let them knock you around…
Let the good times roll…
Let them make you a clown..
(The Cars – Good Times Roll)

This song is just the best theme to kick off this week!! We are coming off of an AMAZING State Of The Plate, this market has received HIGH compliments, projected business, and my phone has not quit ringing, all day, from yesterday!! The buzz is all around, you all ROCKED the barn, you all were AMAZING in whatever capacity you made happen, and as your market manager, you made my soul sing!!! Vendors and customers alike…we truly did just let the Good Times Roll!!

Also…a HUGE round of love to the speakers…talk about inspiration just making you want to go out and start the good times!!!! I became sort of Cosmically blinded…I hope I made you all proud as I spoke…I totally blanked it all out as I left the stage!

This song just signifies, well, a good time:) I was a girl of the 70s/80s…I still get excited at the opening beats of this song. It meant a good night was about to happen, a great party, a great explosion of excitement!

I talk a lot about the place I grew up, the tight bonds, the fact that kids pretty much had a sense of freedom. As we all came of driving age, the cool cars all came into play. The guys were all buying their first cars. The cars were the classics. The muscle cars. The garages and yards all became showcases for these cars. And, let’s face it, as a girl of the 70s, it didn’t hurt your street cred to be grabbing a ride in these cooler than cool cars.

We used to do two things as a rite of passage once driving age hit. We either cruised up and down our town’s Main Street or we cruised around and around our local parks.

It didn’t really matter which car you decided to cruise in, that day or evening. It just needed to be cool, have a cool dude at the wheel, and it had to show off your flowing hair in the open windows.

Being the girl who always had the guy pals, I pretty much got first dibs on which car I would cruise around in for the evening. What memories…everyone hanging out of windows, hanging at the park, playing Frisbee, stereo blasted tunes, and some sort of party action. (Again, the 70s, we were free to be, we had our fun).

This song just brings back all of those memories. The carefree nights, this song blasting, all of the headlights of the cars, the anticipation that anything could happen on that given night.

Much like how I am feeling about this little local market of love!! We are on the brink. We are poised to be part of the local explosion that is taking place. We are on the edge of revving this place up another notch or two. Get the motors running because we are cruising in the fast lane!

Be part of the good times, be part of this local market, and be part of that next explosion!!

Let The Good Times Roll…you won’t be sorry!

This is Monday evening, it’s been a chaotic weekend, but now it’s time to settle down, just for a second, and make those orders!! As soon as you are finished, your are free to motor!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

Tullahoma Locally Grown:  Gluten Free Baked Goods!

Our newest vendor on the Market, Fuel so Good Coffee Roasters has added Fudge, Chocolate Cheesecake, and Gluten Free Baked Goods, read below for some more information about Fair Trade Organic Coffee!

Coffee roasters that source Fair Trade pay a per pound premium. This serves to help better support the farmer and their community (education, health, etc.) while providing roasters with a higher quality coffee bean. As well, Fair Trade standards help protect the environment. Here is a link to the Fair Trade infographic: http://fairtradeusa.org/resources/campaigns/fair-trade-month/infographic Coffee roasters invest in packaging and labeling, e.g. eco-friendly coffee bags with a degassing valve cost more than a traditional foil bag. *Most in-store coffees are packaged in 12 oz. size – not 16 oz! At Fuel So Good, we roast to order. The coffee in your average grocery store is stamped with a shelf life of 12 months + and how does the consumer know how long that coffee has been on the shelf? Ideally, coffee maintains its freshness when properly packaged for up to 3 months. As time passes, it tends to lose the cupping characteristics for which the coffee is noted.
