The Boy Scouts make root beer; the Garden Club offers homemade pies, and the Rotary gives out hotdogs for a donation for the food pantry. My church sells whoopie pies: you can mix and match your choice of flavors for filling and cake (I know, right?). The dance school and karate students perform, and there’s a band. It’s a rite of passage when kids are old enough to walk around by themselves and collect swag and candy. Last year I sat at our booth next to a sign saying, “The Minister is In. Profound Questions Answered, 25 cents.”
