Bicycle?

It doesn’t really matter how she arrives, we just know that she brings joy to all of us, this crazy, fun, loving, talented, giving, wonderful woman!
She is Jamaica’s Auntie Depressant!!!

What was life like with the first settlers here in a Jamaica?
There are stories about one family in particular, Aaron and Thankful Wildman Butler.
On Jamaica Day, look for the booth with their 4th great granddaughter, Melanie Hazard Keiser.
“Thankful in Jamaica!
Find out if you have Thankful's Green Mountain Grit!
Ring toss
Protect the cabin from the wolves
Survive the first winter
Identify the herbs/food
Are you tough enough for chores
There will be genealogy - see my family line back to Thankful. Talk about her stories and what life was like in the 1780s. Are we related?”

Thankful was an amazing and hardy soul.

Ask Melanie about Thankful fighting off the wolves, her husband gone fighting in the Revolutionary War, clearing the land, raising the kids, being a widow at an early age.

Mama Maria’s Gyros will be here in Jamaica on Saturday August 15. Yum Yum!

Mama Maria’s Gyros will be here in Jamaica on Saturday August 15.
Yum Yum!

😂😂 OKAY. HERE WE GO AGAIN…

I WAS GOING TO RANT…

BUT INSTEAD, I HAVE DECIDED TO BE RESPONSIBLE.
FOR ONCE. 🤣

So grab your calendar, set an alarm, tell your spouse, your kids, your neighbor, your therapist, your dog… WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO.

Because MAMA MARIA’S IS ON THE MOVE THIS WEEK! 🚨🇬🇷🔥

📍 MONDAY 8/10
🕦 11:30AM–4PM
📍 3 Henniker St, Hillsboro, NH
RIGHT NEXT TO Zipper's Soft Serve Ice Cream! 🍦

Come get your gyro…
Then get ice cream.

Is that excessive?

Absolutely.

Do I support it?

100%. 😂

📍 TUESDAY — CLOSED

Because apparently I am not actually a Greek-food-producing machine. 😂
Although some of you seem determined to test that theory.

📍 WEDNESDAY 8/12
🕦 11:30AM–4PM
📍 3 Henniker St, Hillsboro, NH

Same place. Same deliciousness. Same dangerous temptation to say,
“Fine… I’ll have one more.” 😂

🔥 THURSDAY 8/13 🔥
📍 FOOD TRUCK ROUNDUP — Retreat Farm
🕔 5PM–8PM

You know the drill.

Bring your friends.
Bring your appetite.
Bring stretchy pants.

Just don't bring the attitude that you're “only getting something small.”

WE KNOW BETTER. 😂

🚨 FRIDAY — CLOSED 🚨

Which means if you want Mama Maria’s this week, PLAN ACCORDINGLY. 😂

🇯🇲🔥 SATURDAY 8/15 — Jamaica Day! 🔥🇯🇲
📍 Jamaica, Vermont
🕙 10AM–4PM

AND THEN…

Because apparently I looked at Saturday and thought:

“Yeah. That doesn't sound exhausting enough.”

😂😂😂

🍺 Henniker Brewing Company
🕕 6PM–9PM

TWO EVENTS. ONE SATURDAY. ZERO CHILL.

And you KNOW we're bringing the food. 🇬🇷❤️

🫐🔥 SUNDAY 8/16 — BERRY FESTIVAL 🔥🫐
📍 Monadnock Berries
🕙 10AM–6PM

Come finish the weekend with us!

And listen…

I know we joke around a LOT, but seriously…

THANK YOU. ❤️

Every single person who comes out to find us means more than you know. Every person who shares a post, tags a friend, brings someone new, waits in line, tells someone about us, or comes back again and again…

YOU are the reason we're still doing this.

This little food truck dream has turned into something so much bigger than I ever imagined. And somehow, through all the chaos, crazy schedules, weather, long days, and me occasionally wondering what the heck I was thinking 😂…

YOU KEEP SHOWING UP.

And we will keep showing up for you. ❤️🇬🇷

So screenshot this schedule.
Share it with your hungry friends.
Make your plans.

Because here's your official warning:

🚨 IF YOU SEE A LINE… GET IN IT. 🚨

Because that line means the gyros are disappearing. 😂🔥

And when they're gone, they're GONE.

Don't come walking up 10 minutes later asking:

“Do you still have gyros?”

Ma'am.

Sir.

My beloved community.

YOU WERE WARNED. 😂😂😂

Come hungry.
Come hungry again.
Bring your people.

We'll bring the Greek food.

Greek food made from the heart. ❤️🇬🇷
