Day 1 ~ Von Hanson's






We had beautiful weather and served tons of people at our brat stand! It's
quite obvious that the weather can either make or break you, while doing the
brat stand. I certainly couldn't imagine standing there ... in the rain! :-( We
are VERY thankful that mother nature was on our side!!

We decided to sell chips along with baked goods to go along with the
brats. Both have seemed to be going well! Many thanks to my mother in
law Connie and neighbor Susan, for contributing to our baked goods for our
sale! It is greatly appreciated!

It was the first time our entire team was together and had the opportunity to meet. We were all able to grill and serve....with the gracious help of our families. I think the most notable helper award would have to go to Riley....he might only be 5....but, he makes certain his voice is heard. Anytime someone would order up a brat or hotdog, he would yell to the grill "2 BRATS 1 DOG"....kind of like you would hear in a restaurant kitchen. It was pretty comical...and got several chuckles.

I will let everyone know the final results of our brat stand .... after our work is done for today. If today goes as well as yesterday.......we will be very pleased! (and very tired!! :-)

Von Hansens Brat Stand ~ July 11 and 12th

Hey Everyone....We are getting ready for our 2nd year of firing up
the grill at Von Hansen's.

Last year, we had a wonderful weekend and a great turnout, as we grilled
brats and hot dogs at the Von Hansens in Eagan. They are generous enough to donate the food, and split the pro cedes with us 50/50. It was a great fund raising event for our team last year.

This year, we are grilling again on July 11 and 12th. We will be at the Apple Valley Von Hansens, from about 10 am - 5 pm. Bring every one you know!! :-) It's a pretty cheap meal ~ and you're supporting a great cause!

I was talking to one of my patients parents, who recently did the brat stand as a fundraiser also. They sold "sweets", to go along with the brats. She said that these sold out rather quickly! So, I am hoping to start baking up some bars and cookies that we might be able to sell as well. If you like to bake and are interested in helping - feel free!

Also - if you enjoy grilling....you are always welcome to come join us! We can never have to much help!
