Hello everyone,
Norana has put together a very detailed proposal and budget for BaconBridge. 🙂
http://brokenbridge.eastkingdom.org/event-calendar/bacon/
The big thing: we cannot charge a door fee at the proposed site (Joyce’s building), we will have the raffle and a donations bucket set up to cover the event costs. and yes we have to have a list of all potential attendees before hand, same as previous years.
While we looked into renting Friend’s field the paperwork with the city will take at least 30 days and then there is not guarantee we get the site.
I am leaning towards going ahead with the proposed plan. With a good and well advertised raffle we should have to trouble covering our costs.
I’d like to hear back from the canton members with any comments and suggestions as soon as possible.
I’d like to get the even announcement up on EK site by end of the month at the latest.
thank you everyone in advance for your input and suggestions.
in service,
Lada
Excellent proposal, excellent planning.
If you can’t find a Troll I have MUCH experience and am wiling to sit at the door virtually all day.
The Old Ladies of BrokenBridge can be relied upon to give food donations (I have acquired the means of making both Maple Bacon cupcakes and Maple Bacon cookies which ought to be a hoot) I make mean Maine Yellow Eye baked beans which are heavily flavored with applewood smoked bacon if you would like that?? Feel free to assign me a dish/es of your choice and I will make it/them or learn to do so.
Too bad about Friends Field as parking there is much better than at Joyce’s building which is almost under the Brooklyn Bridge, not to mention the atmosphere is less “industrial”at Friends Field than at Joyce’s but we go where we are wanted, yes?
I will donate to the Raffle … item/s to be decided upon, OK?
I will also buy Raffle tickets (which is important as the donations are great but if we don’t sell tickets we are ultimately the losers)
Please advertise Bacon Bridge to our neighbors (An Dubh and Settmore Swamp in particular) as I made much of the event and there was interest …
OK, good job, keep me in the loop.
Peace, J
