Girls Scout cookie sales is finally coming to an end. Yippee! Kiley sold well beyond her goal and we are so proud of her. Today was our last day to have a cookie booth in the village. Fortunately for all the moms, we were set up right in front of Starbucks.....this is so much better than selling in front of the bank. All of the girls did a great job selling to people walking by. They had a great sales pitch without being obnoxious. They even made cookie costumes out of giant rolls of paper and the girls enjoyed taking turns wearing all the different kinds of cookies. Best of all, the idea for making the costumes came from the girls! Even the mayor of Claremont, Corey Calaycay, came to buy cookies. This may not sound that interesting, but last year's mayor, Ellen Taylor, really sealed the deal on being Claremont's rudest mayor ever when she tried to run off our troop from having a booth outside her office building. She was upset we didn't have a permit to be there, even though we had permission to be there and these are Girl Scouts for goodness sake. She also thought we were a danger to passing cars. She even called the police! The local press had a field day on this and people wrote into the paper for months poking fun of her crazy antics. No doubt, it will take many years to live down that event. Today as the mayor bought cookies, he promised not to call the police on us.
