The Crêpes Ladies
Gourmet Crêpes for Everyone's Tastes
Kathy Brooks and Ann Rice saw an opportunity for a unique small business as they enjoyed delicious crêpes from a little sidewalk kiosk in Breckenridge, Colorado. There seemed always to be a line of people waiting for freshly made sweet or savory crepe. Ann remarked, "When I retire, I'm going to do that." Kathy replied, "I'll do it with you!" So, in the fall of '06 Kathy and Ann researched, then developed "Crême de la Crêpes: Gourmet Crêpes for Everyone's Tastes". Since then, they've served crêpes at Farmer's Markets, for business & private parties, for church groups, book clubs, at showers & birthday parties, and even to die-hard poker players! You can find them at the Rochelle Harvest Market every Thursday 2-6 pm throughout the summer in the Gazebo at Fifth Avenue & Main Street in Downtown Rochelle.

Bastille Day Trivia
Bastille Day, the French national holiday, commemorates the storming of the Bastille, which took place on 14 July 1789 and marked the beginning of the French Revolution. The Bastille was a prison and a symbol of the absolute and arbitrary power of Louis the 16th's Ancient Regime. By capturing this symbol, the people signaled that the king's power was no longer absolute: power should be based on the Nation and be limited by a separation of powers.
Although the Bastille only held seven prisoners at the time of its capture, the storming of the prison was a symbol of liberty and the fight against oppression for all French citizens; like the Tricolore flag, it symbolized the Republic's three ideals: Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity for all French citizens. It marked the end of absolute monarchy, the birth of the sovereign Nation, and, eventually, the creation of the (First) Republic, in 1792. |
