🥶 NOW THAT OUR HANDS HAVE THAWED… LET’S RECAP A BUSY SATURDAY! 😂
If you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes of a family-run business, this weekend was a PERFECT example. ALL HANDS ON DECK! 💪🏼❤️
Friday started with setting up in Lindsay for Fall Brawl while the kids were at school. Then Blake (Brandon’s brother) came over late Friday night to help us be in TWO places at once. We couldn’t do it without you, Blake! ❤️
⏰ 5:01 AM wake-up call! Yup, Brandon needed that extra minute. 🤣 The boys were off to Applefest, arriving at 5:45 AM with SIX CARS already in line ahead of them… all in a lovely -2°C! 🥶
Meanwhile, Kristine and her mom got the boys ready for a slumber party at Little Grandma’s before heading to Lindsay. Kenzie held down the fort with the dogs, league, a party AND cleaning the main floor. We appreciate you! ❤️
Brandon’s aunt even stopped by Applefest with a coffee, which probably tasted extra delicious thanks to the warmth alone! ☕❤️
The boys finished at 5 PM, headed home, unloaded and rested. The ladies, however, had a change of plans when they discovered there was no overnight security.
So, after driving home, picking up Brandon and heading BACK to Lindsay around 11 PM, they finally got home around 2 AM! 🤦🏼♀️😂
THIS IS WHAT FAMILY-RUN BUSINESSES ARE ALL ABOUT! ❤️ The early mornings, late nights, last-minute changes and family stepping up whenever needed.
To everyone who helped, drove, watched the boys, cared for the dogs and kept things moving — THANK YOU! We appreciate every single one of you. ❤️
While most vendors are winding down, we’re taking a much-needed TWO-WEEK BREAK before tackling our beast shows! Today’s productivity? Ordering truckers. 😂 Tomorrow, we’re back at it reproducing inventory and getting Christmas into FULL SWING! 🎄🔥
And to everyone asking about customs, send us an email or use the Custom Order tab in the middle of our website!
We’re tired, we’re thawing out, but we wouldn’t trade this crazy ride for anything.
THIS is family. THIS is teamwork. THIS is CGG. ❤️🤠
