On Oct . 22 , employees from the six-unit Potters Wings gathered at Chain Park in Mississippi to participate in the Hattiesburg Food Festival . A total of seven food vendors participated in the festival , with roughly 1,000 people in attendance . “ The purpose of the event is to bring local vendors together in the community in order to build diversity ,” said Will Littlejohn , regional director for Potters Wings .

B-Dubs ® had a booth staffed with six employees that featured a limited menu of burgers , traditional wings , boneless wings and wedges that were sold for anywhere from $ 3 to $ 7 . The restaurant made $ 550 at the event .
Vendors at the festival paid an initial $ 75 entry fee , but were able to set their own prices and keep 100 percent of their proceeds . Vendors also had unlimited space to set up their booths .
Littlejohn notes that finding the right employees to attend the festival and setting equipment up was a bit of a challenge , but it was still well worth it to attend the festival .
“ Community involvement is one of our passions . We love to make new friends to continue growing our family ,” said Littlejohn . “ We made new friends out there to help support local sales in our restaurant . We have continued to see growth in sales every time we do events like this in the community .”
In addition to being able to purchase food , attendees at the Hattiesburg Food Festival enjoyed live music , visited with animals from the Hattiesburg Zoo , participated in arts and crafts , hopped on board several rides , played games and even toured one of the Hattiesburg Fire Department ’ s fire trucks .
