6 Show and Sell You will again be able to order popcorn early for a Show & Sell sale. This option allows your Scouts to deliver popcorn as you sell it. Here is how it works: Your unit places a preliminary order by September 10. You pick up your order on September 27 at Producer Services facility 1921 Sonora Rd. (Rt. 70 and get off at Airport Rd. exit; head north approximately 1 mile and facility is on left; if you get to the Autozone Plant you have gone too far) There is no money due until Friday, December 12! If you have leftover popcorn, roll it over to your traditional Take Order sale! Make sure you take into account all product you have not sold and calculate that into your Take Order. After this point, if you still have extra product, it must be brought back to the Council Service Center on or before Saturday, November 8. NO PRODUCT WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THIS DATE. Remember that Show & Sell is a way to supplement your sale. It is not meant to replace your traditional Take Order sale. Just think how much fun your unit will have trying to figure out what to spend all that extra money on! Locations:
