Popcorn Sale 2008

Plan for a great Popcorn sale this year. As you put together your calendars and activities for the fall of 2008, don't forget to include the dates listed below.

We made a switch with the popcorn company who supplies the product for our units to sell. This year we will be working with Ramsey Popcorn Company. They offer a wide variety of products that have a similar to ring to what we have sold in the past, but also some new items that you can not find anywhere else.
