Our Kettle Corn Story

10/04/23 - Dawn Campbell

 

 

I really, really love popcorn.
I could eat it each night and morn.

 

Popcorn is probably my favorite food.
This is how Campbell Kettle came to be with me and my great dude.

 

I am from near Dallas and Dave is from St. Louis.
We've worked until calloused while becoming the bluest.

 

We met in Texas in '99 where Dave was a postmaster.
We go where God takes us and where life does not go faster.

 

Around 2012, we sold ShedSpot.com near St. Louis and purchased an RV.
We and Thirteen, a Mini-Schnauzer, hit the road for Florida to see.

While living in Florida, we visited the Waldo Flea Market and used to crave their kettle corn.
Something about it was different and far above the norm.

 

Often on Sunday, we awoke to that kettle corn craving.
"To Waldo," we'd say. No joke. About it we were raving.

 

We'd drive over an hour, one way, for that delicious snack.
Then we would continue eating it as soon as we got back.

 

When we first got married, we discovered Mammoth Spring.
Here, life doesn't feel harried and here, our kiddos we used to bring.

 

 

 

Finally, we had enough of Florida, which gets humid hot.
So we moved to Mammoth Spring and a 160-quart kettle is what we bought.

 


 

We bought a brand-new kettle by North Bend Kettle Corn Equipment Company, which is made in the USA.
This company, I should tell is the best. Great things about them is all we can say.

 

We believe we've found the recipe which made Waldo's corn so great.
The kettle corn biz is fun and, anytime, flexibly allows us to enjoy this snack we ate.

 

Before setting up the biz, I indulged in buttery-popped snacks.
Then I did a blood test and realized butter might lead to heart attacks.

 

So, no more buttery popcorn for this popcorn-loving girl.
It is a lot of fun seeing the ingredients in the kettle swirl.

 

The salt in our kettle corn is iodized.
The cravings we've had for kettle corn have left us surprised.

 

I read the other day, corn is good for the eyes.
Holding a bag of kettle corn feels like holding onto a prize.

 

High fructose corn syrup, caramel color, or natural flavorings will never be found in this snack we sell.
We do have free samples and about our kettle corn, we hope your family and friends you'll tell.
