Whew! Last Week was a Doozie.

Hello All,

Thanks for tuning in this week...it is good to see you back here.

We have added some things to the website: a few new recipes, more product photos, and the shopping links to get the eStore back up and running. Let us know what else you'd like to see.

Web traffic is increasing and internet sales, too. Our customer base is growing and going global. We sent our first international delivery. Crazy Uncle Jester's Jamaican Hellfire™ is on its way to Norway. Thanks "Cappy" for arranging our international contingency this weekend.

Since the last post, we've added two new retail locations and met with a food distributor. Crazy Uncle Jester's™ will be a featured vendor at SunWatch. They are excited to add an Ohio-made Native American-owned product line to their store. We will also be a participating vendor in several of their events. We are also featured and available for sale at the Bourbon Street Grill & Cafe in Downton Dayton.

The PepperHeads™ Newsletter subscription is growing. We are sending out a quarterly newsletter and including some show specials coupons for fans who come to visit.

Saturday, we are back in the factory kitchen. We are scheduled to prepare several pallettes of our favorite flavors. Thank you, in advance, to our families, friends, and dedicated volunteers - Those who are "Will [ing] Work for Product Samples!"

That's all for now. Be sure to check back often...we'll try to keep you abreast of all of the changes. Things are moving quickly. Thanks.

Hello Friends, Welcome!

It has been a long time coming, but I guess that we are here to stay. I knew that we had something special when the entire family got involved, but I never knew our following would grow this big this quickly. Sometimes it surprises me still. Thank you to all of our friends and loyal fans, for without you none of this would be possible.

We have settled into our new factory kitchen nestled in the hills and we like it here. We are able to manufacture your favorite products in less time, but with the same attention to quality. We still cook everything in small batches and package each one by hand, it's just less taxing to our bodies.

Aunt Jester (Lori) and I have made some new friends. They are becoming a part of the Crazy Uncle Jester's family and are helping us spread the word throughout the South. We are sharing our story with shop owners, grocers, food distributors, chefs and restaurant executives. With a little luck, and many prayers, we will soon be found on your neighborhood grocery store shelves.

We are currently finalizing the 2008 calendar. It has grown beyond the Ohio border. Check back occasionally to see where you can find us this year. We would love for you to stop by and visit. We may even post some coupons for our loyal fans. It is only through you that we are able to spread the addiction to Pepperheads everywhere. We'll see you soon. Thanks.
