I would not want to put the bulk of my bottom line on the seasonal tourist group but it would help to bump up sales during that period for the slower winter months.
It was just a rough idea of what I think I would want it to look like. I have a few of friends that do graphic design and can help create something professional and original.
I have a brewery about 45 min away that I can drive to that gives tours. A lot of my research for start-up will come...
Yes, Luckily I have an accountant for a sister so she can help with a lot of that stuff. We will be starting those sheets soon enough to make sure it is even feasible around here to make a profit.
