Selling popcorn for Cub Scouts

UPDATE: Nevan's goal was met of filling two sheets of orders (60 items). Now he will get the marshmallow-shooting bow that he wanted SO much plus a $30 Wal-mart gift card. Of course we owe many thanks to Dad for pushing the popcorn with his Army friends and especially at work. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dad-o!!!

Nevan went to each door and said "Hello, my name is Nevan Hopkins. I live a mile or two from here. I am in Pack 162, Keowee. Would you support me and my troop by buying popcorn?" The few people that declined were met with Nevan's response of "Thank you for your time". I was SO PROUD OF HIM!!! This particular lady said she had already bought popcorn from another scout but because he was so professional and polite she bought from him too!!!! She wasn't the only one that was won over simply by his salesman qualities. Thank you!!!

OK...so Nevan is rocking it out and I didn't know how to turn the video for easier viewing so I'll do better next time! It's cute anyway.

Our trip to Gatlinburg was short but fun. It was our last chance to go away before Brian leaves in Jan. He will be in DC for 12 mos. Fall is my favorite time to go. The whole town is vividly decorated for fall. There are pumpkins everywere, mums, corn stalks, and just the smell of fall in the air that only comes from the mountains.

Brian spotted this wild elk standing in field on our way to Gatlinburg. We found out that they are being reintroduced to that area with about 1500 now with radio collars (like this one)....awesome!
