Final Comments: 
This project is fun but could be a little messy without proper facilitation. I have requested that I have some help with this program from Kassy and Teilor, and both have agreed. This will allow us to help and supervise 3-4 customer each. I am not done with the description- I will get a Bling added before our program meeting in November. Thank you!
