Nearly ruined a whole batch of croissants at the Iowa State Fair demo because someone turned the proofer up to 110

Wait, is that the baking equivalent of turning a sauna into a crematorium? I can just picture someone walking by like "ooh, those croissants are getting a real sunburn!" Honestly though, 110 degrees for proofing is a one-way ticket to butter puddle city, you would have ended up with flat, greasy discs instead of flaky layers. Did you at least save any of them with a cold water bath or was it a total meltdown festival?

Sounds like a lot of drama over some dough that probably baked up fine anyway.
