We've been hanging bags of water balloons along Riverfront Park and watching the fun but someone has been cutting them down and throwing them in the garbage. I'll be doubling and redoubling efforts if needed to keep the people of Salem cool and the bags full and in place.

Last Nights Grand Opening of our new location under the Marion St. Bridge was a GIANT SUCCESS!!!!

If you are kicking yourself for not attending the party, don't fear, some creepy older gentleman who came alone, talked to no one and took lots of photos was kind enough to share those pics with all of us, so have a look.

We had a rough start with someones unruly dog showing no obediance and biting a passerby but the dog was removed from the scene and thankfully, none of our guests were bitten.

We are unfortunately unable to remain open there any longer thanks to this cities unfair policy toward food carts and mobile operations like ours, we will for the time being be set up somewhere along the banks on the west side of the Willamette river just north of the foot bridge.

Look for us again sometime soon under the bridge as soon as "the man" focuses on some other poor entrepeneur just trying to make a living.
