...thanks to everyone here who shares their ideas!!! Also thanks to Tracy in Yorktown for meeting me half way to sell me a pack of f/w catalogs.
I did the ice breaker where you have everyone fold a piece of paper in half and write down a kitchen tool that they would like to replace. Then had them write down in the inside 2 reasons why they want to replace it (old, ugly, cheap, etc). Then on the back side I had them write their husband's name. When you read them back, you substitute their spouse's name for the tool, so for example "shelly wants to replace Jeff because he is old and cheap!!"
When I read them back, it was HILARIOUS!!! The funniest one was "too small & not enough power" :blushing: (she was describing her blender). So thanks to whomever posted that game on chef success!!
The crowd was really receptive to this, so later on, for a door prize game, we played the "What am I?" game, and I handed out "PC bucks" to whomever guessed the most right. That person won the door prize.
I didn't get a whole lot of volunteers, even though the host wanted to make it an interactive show, how do you get them out of their seats? I did give everyone who helped a twixit clip, but didn't tell anyone that I was going to give them out until the demo was over. Maybe, I should give them out as we go, instead of at the end? what do you think.
Anyways, 3 bookings, and over a thousand dollars in commisionable sales!!
Thanks, chefsuccess!!!
