***** 2019 ORC Potluck *****

One of the ORC hilights each year is the fantastic post-fishing potluck/taco feed.  Let's keep that tradition going!  For that, we can use this thread to track who can bring what food.  And nearly as importantly, who can do what. 

As we will likely have a large group (70+ contestants plus any guests), WE can all make this work as long as everybody chips in with contributions and assists with prep, cooking, AND cleanup...

NOTE:  New this year, those bringing food items and/or helping with setup/prep/cook (please sign up by posting and getting on the list below) will be issued meal wristbands - see discussion below.  Wristbands can be acquired with $10 donation to HOW PDX.  Also, spouses are welcome to get a wristband with potluck donation.    Kids eat free.

HINT: If you're not sure what items might be necessary, you can refer to one of Andrew's prior year threads (there are some really great ideas here if you're not sure what you should bring):

Yup, no problem Craig.

I can help with any tasks that need to be done. Even be a beer wench for the cooks. 

One of these years we're going to wise up and get some wristbands for this potluck. I always feel like we could be done with dinner much earlier and we would buy a lot less groceries if we weren't feeding the whole goddamn campground.

Chowder, as usual!😋

Sounds like a great idea.  Free wristband for those who bring something and we can charge a fee for those who don't.  Proceeds can go to HOW PDX.  I'll check Amazon for wrist bands.

So, it's not just me that has felt this needed to be a thing.
Thanks Anthony for bringing this to light.   

Those that plan to say that they prepped fish while standing in line at the potluck, should be on a list for a free wristband prior to prepping fish.  It's too easy for 30 people to claim they all prepped fish, if they didn't or only prepped a fish or two.  I honestly think 4 people is enough to prep fish for 150+ tacos.  Lets get more folks to volunteer in the kitchen for a smooth cooking rotation, so folks can get out, eat and mingle as well.

Fact: Most folks that supply an item to make these potlucks function, spend $15-$100 themselves just to volunteer it away.
So, this spread below should be a reasonable fee if not providing an item or helping with prep/cooking/cleanup.
$10 per person.
$20 per family of 2-3.
$25 per family of 4 or more.  (Must provide birth certificates as proof of family status).   

Ill be set up at the chinook bend dock around 4pm to fillet fish for the fish fry. Will gladly accept whole fish donations for the fish fry - I'll have some ice/coolers to stage fish if you want to drop off your catch for the fish fry dinner. Last year it worked pretty well to have just enough fish chunked up by the time the fryers were hot.  Sounds like maybe 100 people this year, so we are relying on your fish donations to make the fish fry successful.  And I'll bring a colossal bag of tater tots.

I will be there with Barb filleting fish again this year.  I haven't decided what I am bringing for the potluck yet.

INSAYN_Jr (Tanner) is signing up to help in the cooking area with frying stuff.

INSAYN will also bring a dozen or more sliced  avocados.

put me down for cookies and a couple bags of chips/doritos and fritos!

Sam - Thanks for stepping up!  Wish I could be there.
