Every year I patiently wait for Norman’s Mayfair! Mom and I went every year and had such great memories!
The 2012 Mayfair is Saturday, May 6, 2012 from 8 – 7pm! So, I am so excited to say that this year I will be bringing my Sweet-n-Sassy truck and serving up my famous Vanilla Bean donuts but also a Fancy Frito Chili Pie!
