What Recession?
Economists tell us that we are in the midst of a recession. But consider this…
Each year, I work with my son at the Boy Scouts pizza booth at the Shippensburg Community Fair. It’s a great way for him to earn money towards Scout activities. It’s a great way for him to learn to work hard. It’s a great way for us to spend some time together.
Yesterday, we worked the 4:00 – 7:30 pm shift. Things started pretty slowly, but for the last 2 hours, we were selling pizza as fast as we could make it. In that time, we went through at least 200 slices… at $2/slice… for frozen pizzas warmed in an oven. In fact, we had people waiting in line for the opportunity to buy it.
After our shift, I headed to the barns to see some livestock that a friend was showing. The FFA sale had just concluded and I was sharing the story of our shift, when her father asked a simple, but profound question…
What recession?
