Colonial Day Fair

Preston's 5th grade class had been working all month to collect colonial day coins to use to make purchases at the Colonial Fair.  Preston did not know what he wanted to make and sell so I suggested we make peanut brittle, after all, I have a great recipe and it is pretty easy to make, however, it is time consuming.

We had no idea how much we needed or how many bags to make so we filled as many bags as we could (25 bags total).  Once Preston went off to bed I put some fall colored ribbon to make them look appealing and the next morning off to school he went.

Preston came home that next afternoon saying that he SOLD OUT and that his teacher Miss Dahl had him increase the price from 2 coins to 4 coins.
