Friday Fragments with Mark: Insane Ticket Fees, Flakesgiving On Its Way, Flakes Trip Giveaway

I had my first sandwich from the Montana Melt food truck Thursday night at our Flakes Trip stop-by. It was awesome. If you like cheese, this is the food truck for you.

We, the concert-ticket-purchasing public, have had it with paying extra fees for tickets. One example: Every ticket to go to Wheel Of Fortune at the Alberta Bair Theatre has a $12 fee on top of what the ticket costs. And another listener called and told us that she went to Metrapark to buy Chase Hawks Rodeo tickets. Guess what? If you go there, you still have to pay the fees. She didn't buy tickets because of that.

The Montana Millionaire tickets sold out in record time. I got mine.

Flakesgiving boxes are going to be thirty bucks this year. Assembly day is Friday, November 18. Then we'll hand them out Saturday the 19th at noon.

The Flakesgiving Fund ordered a metal detector for Tumbleweed. Haven't figured out how to get them a new building though. And they need one badly.
