Custard Stand News and a COUPON

Happy fall!
Carpenter510

Big news, in case you haven't heard, the Cowgers bought the Carpenter 5&10 in Webster Springs! Angie kept an eye on the building because it was such a big part of her life as she was growing up. (Plus, it's got her maiden name in big letters across the front!) Evon Synder will manage the updated 5&10 which carries craft & sewing supplies, pet accessories, sporting goods as well as jewelry. You will be able to sit a spell, have coffee and play a game of checkers. The grand opening is Saturday, Oct. 23. Get the latest on the 5&10's Facebook page!

HELP SPREAD THE WORD!
After getting several calls about not being able to find our chili, Nickie had the brilliant idea of making a product request card. The card has all the info that stores need to order CSHDC.

UPDATE: Custard Stand Bowl Chili

The recipe is off to the USDA for approval! We hope to have it on shelves at stores any minute now. Custard Stand Chili Soup with Beef & Beans made its debut at the WV State Fair in mid-August to rave reviews.

At the State Fair, people from as far away as Florida told us they can't wait for the chili! We even had a guy wanting franchise info.

Keep an eye on our web site and your inbox for locations and more!

Bikers, Babies & BBQ!

The Custard Stand was a proud sponsor of the Bikers For Babies Pig Roast at Flatwoods while Nickie was in Medina!

We gave away more than 350 BBQ plates and lost count on how many hot dogs were served. All together, more than $15,000 was raised.

Webster Co. Natives Up North Get Taste Of Home

Every year on the third Saturday of August, natives of Webster County reunite for a picnic in Medina, Ohio. Many left West Virginia in the '60s and '70s for work but they still like to get together and reminisce.

Nickie had heard about this reunion and got in touch with organizers to see if she could bring some Custard Stand Hot Dog Chili. They said, "Come on!"

Nickie and her son, Aron, traveled to Medina, loaded with chili, T-shirts and other goodies. More than 300 good ol' hillbilly people show up every year at Buckeye Woods Park, Nickie says. This year was no exception!

Know of a Webster County reunion in another state? Let us know!
