Can't do that. We are now taking over the concession and you must buy your candy from us.

Yesterday, I bought a candy bar at the turn at Cane Garden. The last time I bought one the price was $.75 which was about two years ago. ( I don't eat much candy) Yesterday's Reeses Pieces cost me $1.50!!!!! Yep folks, that's the new price. Now our crumby little candy bar at the turn is making it to the bottom line of the ever growing family fortune. At what level do they become ashamed of their greedy behavior. By the way, while they gouge us for candy bars, the greens were not fit for a public course in the NE, and the smell of the pond at the 3rd Tee at Allamanda was repulsive. Perhaps they are planning to use the excess profits from candy bars to address these other issues.

Boy Howdy.
