After a weekend in Beaver's Bend, my family went to Reba's Place for lunch and tried to take a family photo out front. Lucky for us, Cory showed up to save our failed photo attempt. Not only did he give us a phenomenal memento, but he was incredibly kind. After asking my son how old he was and what his favorite color is, he went to the shop for some corresponding candy. And, after my son told him he could only have sugar-free, he obliged without missing a beat. My son can usually NEVER eat the candy that is given to him. I am amazed at the sugar-free selection. We got the salt water taffy, which is our favorite (and have not been able to find a decent sugar-free version of until now).... IT TASTES SOOO GOOD! We went for Reba, we will be going back for Cory and the Buffalo Nickel...

Sunny was so much fun to chat with. Stop by and...
