Thanks Dustin. I'm the "jams and jellies" he speaks about. I'll send a little product with him on Friday, and then I will be there on Saturday in person. Come by for a sample (Saturday for sure) and hopefully to check out the mostly-complete GPW 12078. If all goes well, this will be her public debut. She's not "done" but she can come out of the garage!

Come support small business and taste some GREAT jam!
