For the last couple of years, it has been a pizza lunch with a side of salad and dessert; before that it was a steak sandwich and at one time lasagna; so, it has been varied in the past.

I may be running the event in the near future and my thought is to move away from having the club paying to have a catered lunch and go to selling burgers, brats, hot dogs, chips, and water and therefore generating more revenue for the club and lowering the price of the entry fee.

I would like to know what you prefer to have when you attend an event when it comes to eat.

I understand it is less work to have somebody outside the club do the cooking and it would take some club manpower to do the cooking, but I know of several members who would step up to handle that.

I have never seen any complaints with the burger and hot dogs route. We have had pizza to-go before, and also one time a members brother was the owner of a Barbecue truck. The food was super good but of course more expensive.

In the old days I actually built two different airplanes for a lottery draw.. But hour per hour burgers and dogs probably would win.. On a side note if you can make it happen, homemade ice cream can be a money maker I think...

Cooking and serving are one thing but preparation also takes a lot of time and effort prior to the event.

We make most of our money from raffles and secondly from entry fees.

For me it was preferred over the food truck we had on Sunday. 

We did have a catered dinner in the AMA museum Sunday night ($25) that was quite good.
