    "Cronuts have gone global. There are so many impostors around the world that BuzzFeed’s list of knockoffs clocks in at 60 (!) entries. Most are made by small bakeries, but now Dunkin’ Donuts has jumped on the croissant-donut hybrid bandwagon"

    Last night I received a call from our Mayor, Jasper Culpepper, to let me know how excited he was that we are here, representing our little town. He said that Council is thinking of re-naming Main Street after our Coffee shop, for a day! "Quite the honor", I told him, as I extended our thanks. I didn't have the heart to explain that we had named our Coffee Shop after Main Street.....oh well, I guess they'll figure it out. Maybe they should re-name Main Street "DoNut Alley" for a day!;)

    We watched this movie Homer Price and "The Donuts"! Maybe you will like it too. It's 28 minutes long, so allow enough time. Just have a cup of coffee and a few donuts, while watching!:D

    and have a chocolate ice cream sandwich made with glazed donuts. Do you suppose it is proper to eat donuts with a knife and fork? [​IMG] o_O

    Do they have a day care at the convention center for visitors?

    (I just thought this was cute)

    Not sure, lots of Boomers, Seniors, and Millennials , with a small number of Planet-Xers & Teen-agers "sprinkled" in. This little "Delegate" seems to be keeping his eye upon the Icing and not upon the donut!

    They do have a Kennel/Pet Service area, though.

    By the end of today's session, most of the "heavy lifting" will be over, leaving Thursday for the Awards and speeches. The highlight is usually the Key-noter! Our Keynote Speaker this year is Nigel Travis, former CEO of Dunkin' Brands on "Why Your Employees Should Think About the Future".

    "Excuse me, Sir. .. Just one more thing..."

    I've heard of the annual hot dog eating contest at Coney Island, and the pickle racing contest in Mt Olive, NC. Is/was there a similar event planned for donuts at your convention?

    (Sorry for bugging you with so many questions, Joe.)
