Grab N Go Concessions Springs From Generations of Hard Work

  Kaitlin Signorelli comes from a multi-generational amusement industry family. Her grandparents started Carnival Amusements back in 1975 and her parents, Bob and Kathy Destefano, created the ever-expanding Dreamland Amusements company in 2003. Kaitlin worked with her parents for many years growing up before launching her own concessions business-within-the-business, Grab N' Go concessions, in 2023.“My whole life, I spent summers at our carnival working between the food and games,” Kaitlin shares.“My sister and I purchased ‘the lemon' from ELEMONADER, which worked out very well for us.

  On Tuesday, the senate passed President Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" and is currently pending final review by the house.  Despite efforts by the Seasonal Employment Alliance (SEA) to get their proposed H-2B Certified Seasonal Employer Designation language included, the bill, ultimately, the Senate did not include any visa or workforce related provisions, including Trump's Golden Visa. According to the SEA, "We always understood that the effort to include H-2B in the reconciliation was an uphill battle, but we are always going to make a push to get H-2B included in any moving legislative vehicle."Reportedly, one of the major opponents of including any H-2B relief in the bill was Senator Grassley of Iowa. According to Grassley, the bill was intended for the President's priorities and absent White House direction, he would not include the language in the bill.
