An Easy Way To Get Book Prospects At A County Fair

Give Away Samples Of Healthy Popcorn While Talking About The Healthful Effects Of The Ingredients

Idea contributed by Robert Fournier

It's easy to get lots of lead cards at a county fair, or farmers market. Samples of healthy popcorn are a great way to attract attention and get a chance to talk to people about health. Offer free drawing cards for them to sign, and while they are lingering to fill out the cards, you get an additional chance to get to know them. This idea is designed to get prospects for the "Encyclopedia of Foods That Heal".

For the free drawing, giveaway a cookbook after each event, and after several events of a summer, give away a set of the encyclopedias as a grand prize.

Thangs That You Need:

One or two four foot cafeteria tables

Dry air hot air popcorn popper, such as the "Presto Poplight Gourmet Hot Air Popper"

If electricity is a problem at the location, you can pre-pop the popcorn. Put the freshly popped popcorn, unseasoned, in a large paper grocery bag, then put that bag inside another paper bag placed upside down over the first. Bring two or three bags for a complete day at the fair.

What is Wrong with My Medicine?

"75% of Americans over 50 are Pharmaceutical Drug Addicts" - Dr. Richard Shultz

American Medical Association Admits:

"Prescription drug side effects are now the 4th Leading Cause of Death in America."

"Ironically prescription drugs are now killing more people than the diseases they are supposed to be curing." - Dr. Richard Shultz

Federal Drug Administration Scientist Admits:

"Vioxx alone may have caused as many as 139,000 heart attacks, strokes and deaths. The FDA is virtually defenseless against a similar future catastrophe with another drug."

1 out of 13 patients are misdiagnosed.

1 out of 9 patients are given the wrong medicine.

Some commentary to say about the ingredients while people are trying the popcorn:

The lemonade marinates the popcorn and makes the flavors stand out.

How To Prepare the Popcorn

Fill one of the spray bottles with olive oil, and set the sprayer to a very thin focused stream. Fill the other sprayer with lemon juice and set to a fine mist.
If possible, make small amounts of popcorn to keep the popcorn and seasonings fresh. Maybe pop half the usual capacity of the popcorn popper.
After the popcorn is popped into the mixing bowl, spray liberally with the olive oil. Toss the popcorn in the bowl, and spray some more.
Then put a light amount of salt on the popcorn.
Then a light amount of garlic powder.
Add a moderate amount of flake yeast.
Then add dill for color.

Thoroughly shake the popcorn, them put into the serving pan.

Offering the Samples to Passerbys
