It goes without saying that if there's a festival revolving around a savory treat, the Mobile Express will find a way to be there. And there's so much you can do with a pretzel! Pizza pretzels, chocolate pretzels, pretzels with mustard. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination!
Alas, Germantown's Pretzel Festival was mysteriously devoid of pretzels. Lots of pretzel t-shirts, not so many of the salty starches we all know and love. So my second seat - Enrollment Wiz Stephanie Blessing - and I had to make due with deep fried Oreos. Oh, the sacrifices of the road.
All kidding aside, the organization that invited us to the festival was fantastic. The Community Action Mission Partnership (CAMP) consists of a series of churches in Germantown, Farmersville, and New Lebanon that offer services to those in need. Our contact with CAMP, Reverend Karel Hanhart, was enthusiastic to help us get the word out about CAMP being the only Benefit Bank site in the area. He did such a great job that we ran out of literature!
The moral of the story: pretzels don't make or break an event. The people do. And we couldn't have expected any better.
Great to meet you Russell and Stephanie. Thanks for all you do.
