Free Rhubarb anyone?

I was thinking about all of the bragging that we've been doing about our $10 building and it reminds me a lot of the free box of rhubarb that Victoria got last year...

Victoria works at the Farmers Market and her employer had a case of rhubarb that he wouldn't be able to sell, so he gave it to Victoria! Free! A full case of rhubarb that amounts to about 35 pounds...

Well... Victoria has a wonderful recipe for rhubarb marmalade and so we had to get a 25 pound bag of organic sugar (about $2.50 per pound), about 10 pounds of oranges and lemons and then the jars and pectin... The "free" rhubarb cost quite a bit by the time we had an opportunity to give away the marmalade to our friends...

So... I have a feeling that our $10 building is another case of "Free Rhubarb"... of course, we are still going to make it into an amazing, welcoming place- a free form creation produced by all four of us and the rest of the community in Paducah...

It is going to be delicious!
