Thank You for supporting our community service work!
Wow! We even made the newspaper:Annual Fish Fry Runs Through This Evening
This is our big fundraiser, and the money we earned here will be most of our 2014-2015 budget. We hope you were able to stop by and enjoy a meal.
THANK YOU for your support - we couldn't do it without you!
Behind the Scenes
Ever wonder how all this gets done?
Starting in early spring, after the site is confirmed, food and paper goods purchases, rental arrangements,
permits, and other necessities are set up.
About a month before the Fish Fry, we put out the small signs you see all around the Township. The big signs go out a bit later.
At the site of the Fish Fry, we rent the great big tent. After it's up, we move all the equipment and supplies out to the tent, unpack it, and set everything up.
Usually, at this point, we find that something important has broken and we need to replace or repair it. We have a new electrical connection this year, because we have to run on generator power. American Electric installed it all for us in one of our small trailers. Buckeye Power Systems donated the use of the generator.
The fryers go under a separate shelter to meet fire regulations. Our refrigerator and freezers keep all the cold food at the right temperature.
Then it's time to start cookin'!
After dinner on Saturday night and on Sunday morning, everything gets taken apart, cleaned, and stored in
the trailers for next year. At one of our meetings soon after the Fish Fry, we talk about how things went and what we can do or buy to make things better next year.
A very special "Thank You" goes to our Fish Fry Chairs Jarod Turner and Jim Nulf and their fellow members of the 2014 Fish Fry committee, including Fish Fry Chair Emeritus Paul Grant. We'd be lost without you!
