2015 Mini Regional

I would say to bring that information to the meeting and submit it for a vote but that sounds like a decent price. We just need them the day of the show so depending on lead time for production we should have plenty of time.

We should also work out a budget so there is something to guide us. We had about 55 registered last year and 60 after a few rolled in late. I would say to be optimistic and shoot for 70-75 cars this year?

Sounds like a good plan to me. I also would like to talk about what is needed for the banner and other items.

I'm back in the land of the living again, so I'm going to do what I can to again look at this. Might pull a rabbit from my hat. But barring my ability to do so, it might be good to look at alternatives.

We need to have a meeting where Kenny can attend. He's too key a member of this group to miss out on the discussions. So we will work on that, perhaps shortly after the main meeting on the 18th.

Glad you're back among "the living" again! I'm Sorry you had the misfortune to work with me and get the crud from me! I've still got the drips from the sinuses and hacking up crud.... but feeling great.

Don't be hard on yourself Gene. My coworkers and you and Christoper and the cashier at the McDonalds - all have it. It's pretty pervasive this year and it's not a easy one to get over. I purposefully did nothing for 4 days so I could rest. Others here, who work and work and work (to just give it to us all) it has lingered for days and weeks. I'm probably 90% now after 6 days - and it was really bad on days 2 and 3.

Anyway - glad to hear you are almost over it too.

**doghows** · March 10th, 2015, 12:45 PM

I don't want to talk about it.

Almost done Gene. One of your parts is fighting the chrome powder!!

Here is what the Google machine tells me about Wiener Sales in Tacoma-Pierce County:

Who needs to get a temporary food establishment permit?
Individuals or groups planning to serve or sell food at events open to the public must obtain a permit. If you advertise your event using fliers, banners, newspaper articles, Facebook, or by other means, it is considered a public event.

All temporary food establishments must meet other agency requirements (e.g., local fire department).

Church dinners or other unadvertised events for members and their guests only do not require a temporary food establishment permit.

_________

I interpret some of the information on this site to mean:
1) Out event falls into"Temporary Food Establishment": 1-14 days
2) Fully cooked Hot Dogs are considered "Low Risk" Catagory
3) "Low Risk" Permit: $100

Read here:

http://www.tpchd.org/food/temporary-food-establishments/

There are also requirements like Outside BBQ needs 4 foot separation/barrier from public and a second hand washing area. (I didn't even know we needed a first)

Please check the above site and be sure I am not missing something. If this is true, my opinion is that we don't want to take the risk or pay more for a permit than we would likely make in proceeds.

It's probably not hard to call ourselves the Church of the Falcons instead. I think I'm at least half-way done writing the Falcon Bible right here on this forum. So we're good!

**BadBird** · March 19th, 2015, 06:12 PM

I didn't call Griots today and ask any information about food, since it was pretty much decided at the meeting to "Don't ask- Don't tell". Before we make any decisions, let me call Griots tomorrow. I am sure they have dealt with this before.. If we do need a permit then I would agree with Jeff, and bag the idea. More to come. Larry

**Norm1** · March 19th, 2015, 07:02 PM

One possibility:

To get around the food permit, could the club supply the fire and individuals supply and cook their own food?

**Nathan289** · March 19th, 2015, 07:14 PM

Serve non cooked food....

I didn't make it last year, but if I plan early there is no reason I couldn't make it. It's 50 miles from Woodinville so I wanted to ask if there is normally a convoy/parade enroute or do you just trailer?

A couple us us Seattle guys met in Seatle and drove down together. I think the only trailer car was a long-running Sprint. Hopefully some of the North end guys/gals can chime in and provide you escort.

It's always better to convoy down. I'll be coming down from Lynnwood and there are a few others in this neck of the woods who may want to meet-up and drive down together. We certainly had more convoying back in the evening than we had going south due to the difficulty of coordinating a meeting place that early. Be sure to check back in as the day approaches and we'll see what we can do.
