“We’re doing well,” said Elks spokepserson Mac Watson, who was busy resupplying the grills.

“We’ve sold double the breakfasts I had predicted,” he added, “we’ve been steady since 7:30.”

 

Last minute cancellations reduced the number of tables occupied by crafters inside the hall, which nonetheless had several artists, jewellery, knitting  and wood crafters present.
