Hooray for Volunteer Slice Girls!

We had a great experience with our first Hummingbird Festival, but it would not have been possible without some AMAZING people who stepped in to to help us!

A big, big thank you to volunteer Slice Girl Ami Irvin (left) for spending her entire weekend with us! Throughout the festival, we were joined by Nichole Evans, Melissa Sizemore, Deanna Irvin, Karen Mansour, and the youngest slice girl ever, Elizabeth Mansour.

We also send out big thank yous to Jon Jenkins, who drove in from Atlanta just to help us out; Eric and Jimmy Irvin, for loading and unloading our equipment; Randy Sizemore for his tent-raising expertise; and Jimmy Sizemore, who has loaned us his big green truck so often and for so long that people think it belongs to me. In fact, we can't send enough thanks to the entire Sizemore clan for being so supportive of Nick's (and generous with their indoor plumbing during festival weekend!)

We are truly blessed to have customers-become-friends who are so generous with their time, enthusiasm and support of our efforts to build this business. THANK YOU!!

Oh! We'd be remiss if we failed to thank Ted Williams of Hawg Heaven Barbecue for loaning us the wonderfully convenient ice box (on wheels!) and ice to go in it! And special thanks to Mary Stewart, for encouraging us to do this in the first place!
