Excelsior Black rushed towards the booth which he was sharing with Haylan Kettleburn, a necklace maker- among other things. He smiled and raised his hand in greeting, seeing that Mrs. Kettleburn was already in her side of the booth, and then entered his own and began setting up.

Excelsior was probably one of the youngest participants here. He had graduated from wizarding school just two terms ago, but in Sweetwater, Texas, where he had transferred after his first three terms at Hogwarts. He had shown great talent as a quidditch player at the time and would eventually become prominent in the All Stars organization. At 20 years old, Excelsior was handsome, and many people would be surprised to learn of his amazing success.

Excelsior had a secret, something he discovered that the muggle population loved, and now it turned out that the wizarding world seemed to like it, too. It was nothing more than potato chips! There seemed to be a sad lack of flavors, and Excelsior was doing his best to take care of that lack by marketing and selling the most unpredictable flavors around - flavors such as peanut butter and jelly chips, cottage cheese chips, pomegranate chips, sarsaparilla chips and gummy worm chips. Excelsior's chips were becoming a global sensation, and he had brought plenty of bags of every flavor imaginable here with him for the sampling today. He wanted to be ready for the crowd, and any questions they might have.

As he finished his work, he smiled in satisfaction. All they would have to do now is wait.



Haylan Kettleburn, DIHer
, reads the large, hand-written sign on her side of the booth. She'd brought her own, hand-painted rocking chair to the event, but Haylan was much too excited to actually sit. Not only was she was about to meet all sort of bright eyed and curious children, she also had her own child with her today, home from University (though - a few booths down.. go see him!). Around her neck hung numerous, brightly lit necklaces she'd designed and made from glowworms - that she'd also grown herself.

She'd made a small fortune selling them at Quidditch Events and Wizarding festivals all over Europe.

In addition to various bags of chips, the table was also peppered with other bits and bobs - all seemingly random. Drop by, stop in, have a seat and find out what all the mess is and what being an entrepreneur is all about!
