They were going to be sold for $1.00 each, all we needed to bring was tongs and aprons. We made a document to add a time table on so that we could do shifts. They were from 10-12, 12-2 and 2-4. Some people couldn't do it so they continued with their work.
I was free all day and didn't mind how long I had to do it so they put me on for 10-2 which was long hours but I was really excited and they needed me to. Grace was going to stay at Mea and Nelle's house on Friday as it was on the Saturday.
Mea asked Daniel if I could stay too because I was going in the morning with him and he said yes. On Saturday morning (after close to no sleep) we went down to Westgate at 9:30 so that we could set up everything.
We got some Starbucks as it was just across the road and then we went across to Noel Leeming. We got a table so we could set up the money, sausages, sauce e.t.c. We then started putting up posters and cooking the onions and sausages.
We then just had to wait for some customers to come. We only had a couple of people coming as most of them had only just had their breakfast. Mum soon arrived with the rest of the family. I took my brothers to look at the animals in Animates and they got a sausage.
Dad and the boys then went home to get mums sunglasses and mum went and brought some gloves and hand sanitiser for us to use so everything was nice and clean, she also brought a plastic container that we could put the onions in and they could keep warm.
We got a few more customers and the lady that helped us at Noel Leeming was making cupcakes for everyone so we had lots of those too. Mum then asked for some cardboard and a vivid so we could have someone by the road waving the sign every were.
Mum wrote on the sign and got Mea by the road yelling out "$1 sausages at Noel Leeming". After Mea was out there we got a whole lot more customers than we did before and people coming to look at the sales in the store.
Mea and I also started going down the bottom end of the shops handing out flyers and vouchers and we got lots of people coming up to were we were. T.K arrived and Mea had to leave for dance as she had a private lesson.
The staff at Noel Leeming then came out and gave us 7 MKR cook books to hand out. We decided to give them away to people who brought 4 or more sausages. They were gone very fast as many families came and got some.
When we were finished Poppy and Grace came and took over for the 2-4 block. We were very happy with the amount of sausages we sold and couldn't wait to do another fundraiser.
