Kettle Corn Shortage
Dear Unit Popcorn Kernels,
 
We have been informed by Trail’s End that nationwide orders of kettle corn have exceed their production projections, leaving them with a shortage of product. As such, we must reduce the council kettle corn order by 45 cases.
 
Your unit orders will be adjusted in the Popcorn System before the end of the week, and the packing slips and product you will receive on Saturday will reflect the adjusted case counts. Your unit will receive at least one case of kettle corn for order #2, and we will work with you to get you more kettle corn should you sell out and want more. Please see the end of this email for your unit’s kettle corn adjustment.
 
Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
 
Sincerely,

Greg Osborn, Chief Operating Officer
Cradle of Liberty Council, BSA
