🌲🍔 SQUATCH IS TAKING A LITTLE FAIR-SEASON BREAK! 🎡
We wanted to give everyone a heads-up that Squatch Burger Co. will be taking a break from the Rathdrum Craft and Farmers Market, Inc for the next several weeks.
But don’t worry, we already have our return date:
🔥 SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH — THE SQUATCH IS BACK! 🔥
So where the heck are we going?
It’s officially FAIR SEASON, and our family also operates Philly express, our longtime family fair business serving up Philly cheesesteaks, curly fries and cheese curds.
🎡 North Idaho State Fair — August 21–30
📍 Coeur d’Alene
🎡 Spokane County Interstate Fair — September 11–20
📍 Spokane
The next several weeks involve a ridiculous amount of prep, hauling, setup, teardown and everything else that happens behind the scenes to make two major fairs happen. Our truck will also be working overtime hauling our large fair trailer and equipment, so trying to operate Squatch at the same time just isn’t practical.
And somewhere in the middle of all this, I still work 50+ hours every week at my regular job year-round. Squatch and fair season happen on top of that, so there are only so many hours we can squeeze out of a week before somebody needs to invent an eighth day. 😂
There’s also another important reason we’re giving ourselves some breathing room.
My wife is a huge part of everything we do with Squatch and helps me more than most people ever see. She’s been dealing with some pretty rough hip pain lately, so taking Squatch off the schedule for a few weeks gives her a chance to take it a little easier while we tackle an already crazy fair season. ❤️
Sometimes you just have to know when there are too many irons in the fire, and right now, between two fairs, Squatch, our regular jobs and family life, there are a LOT of irons.
But you can still come find us! 👀
Our family will be serving with Philly Express at BOTH the North Idaho State Fair AND the Spokane County Interstate Fair! Stop by for a Philly cheesesteak, curly fries or cheese curds and come say hi. 🎡🔥
Then, after the fairs are over and we’ve recovered from several weeks of controlled chaos…
🌲🍔 SQUATCH BURGER CO. RETURNS TO RATHDRUM SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 26TH!
We appreciate the hell out of everyone who has supported us this season. This summer has been an adventure, to put it mildly, and we’re definitely not finished yet.
We’ll see you September 26th. Hungry. Rested. And ready to smash some burgers. 🔥🍔🌲
