Der Kaffee Kuchen is hosting the 2009 Oktoberfest on the 2nd and 3rd of October at the Suprise Baseball Stadium. Lots of great food, dancing, contests and music direct from Germany featuring "Zwei Schwarzwaldmusikanten Band". Great fun for the family as it cools off for $5.00 per person and kids under 12 are free. My wife goes to Germany on business evry year and attends Oktoberfest. I have taken her to Der Kaffee Kuchen for dinner and she says it is just like being back in Germay which just happens to be her favorite destination. So if you are looking for some great family fun this weekend check it out and support a local reataurant.

It's Football Season!!!

A lot of people would say this is the most wonderful time of the year - football season!!

No one agrees more with this statement than Ted Palmisano, the President of Peddler's Son Produce. His passion for football has followed him through his life. He played football growing up in Wisconsin and later for Mankato State University as a guard on the offensive line. He then coached his son's Pop Warner Football team and became a spotter for his Scottsdale Community College football team. (Go Artichokes!)

As his son's football career came to an end, Ted still wanted a connection with the game and became involved with the Arizona Football Officials Association. This program educates referees for the various football programs in the state of Arizona. He is currently on his second year in the program and at level 4 of 5 for high school football games. His goal is to get to the 'Friday Night Lights' before the end of the season.

Ted feels the lessons he learns in football; the ups and downs, winning and losing and most of all, being part of a team, are what has helped him become a better business person.

So he asks you, "Are you ready for some football?"
