Know anyone who needs a job in the Newfound area? The Mill Fudge Factory is hiring! http://ping.fm/Rj7vp

It's official we can get back into The MIll!

Finally, we learned yesterday officially that we have access to our building again. The town engineer inspected the shoring up work that Suldenski has completed on the Mica building, and it is now in no danger of falling down on us. Of course it is easier said than done that we can simply move back in and open for business. There is a LOT that has to be done on many fronts before we can transfer operations back there. I am going to at least clean the place up for open mic next Friday, but we will probably still be operating from the Grill for ice cream only for a while. I'll keep you posted.

This has been a very stressful time for us, and we want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you out there who supported us in so many ways. It was, and continues to be your support that keeps us going. Every time we were ready to give up, someone said something or did something that reminded us of why we started this business in the first place, and it was never to make money! :)

Eight more weeks at least

Since no one is keeping us informed as to the progress of the Mica factory, and since we have actually seen a few professional workers in there in the last few weeks, I asked one of them how it is going. He said it is going well, and that they should have the floors shored up in about eight weeks. I don't know if we will get into our building at that point or not. Meanwhile I have cancelled the September concerts. It's clear that the five weeks given to Suldenski, three weeks ago by the selectmen is not going to be honored. He will use his waiver to buy more time, I am sure. So, maybe October, who knows. I still find it very hard to believe this has happened.

"Coffee" Fudge Naming Contest Results are In

For several months now we've collected suggestions for new names for our coffee fudge. We received nearly 30 great suggestions and many votes. We're grateful for your participation and assistance in naming our new flavor of fudge.

In the end, "Mocha Mill" came in with the most number of votes, however our coffee fudge contains no chocolate as the word, "mocha" implies so we'll have to save that one for when we make a mocha fudge.

The next top suggestion was "Wicked Good Coffee", however since we don't want to use the word "coffee"we've decided on the name "Wicked Good Cappuccino." It's rich, sweet, creamy and sophisticated, yet down to earth & from New Hampshire. The winner of the free pound for her suggestion of "Wicked Good..." is Sarah Fischer from Somerville, MA. Congrats Sarah!

New Concord Monitor article

Maddie Hanna has written a follow up article in response to the selectmen's press release. Please read it and leave comments. Very little is going on at the Mica factory, despite the deal struck with the selectmen to begin a five week program of clean up and shore up, and the "Pouring of money into it" to quote the article. There is a little bit of cleanup by two guys, the kid from across the road and the local homeless guy, and occasionally Suldenski himself. Still no sign of a professional crew. I'm so glad the selectmen are keeping a sharp eye on the situation!

( Sorry if the sarcasm offends, I know Oscar Wilde said it was the lowest form of wit, but I just can't resist at this point:))
