2014 ORC Fish Taco Feed

I checked in with the guys running the show and they said it they'd be OK with me helping organize the taco feed again this year.  So, in that vein, here's the list of what we'll need.  I'll update this as suggestions come in, and as people take on certain items to identify who's bringing what.

I'll try to get a cooler that we can keep at the weigh in station with ice so folks can donate fillets from their catch there.

In the event that we get weathered out and can't fish I'll be passing the hat around for money to run into Lincoln City to get ground beef or whatever people want for the tacos in place of the fish.

I know it isn't the same as fresh from the water... but I have a bunch in my freezer.  Would it be of any value to bring that?

Only if the weather looks dodgy as the date approaches.

Dude and i will bring a large tub of homemade slaw for the tacos and some side dish that we haven't decided on yet

I'll bring tator tots and salsa and limes.

 I'll bring tequila Just kidding, we will bring another side dish and a desert dish as we did last year along with some cases of bottled water and soda for the bourbon

How many people are we feeding?

Last year we had 80-ish competitors.  Add a few family members and it was probably a little over 100 people.  I would assume a larger crowd this year due both natural growth of the contest and to ORC being a Hobie Worlds qualifying event.  We had plenty of food, and considerable left overs of everything (except a few side dishes) at the end of it all last year.  So even if it goes up to 120 competitors plus some degree of family/friends a modest increase in overall food would be suffecient. 

  Seahorse and I will bring some green bean casserole again. probably another 100 or so nametags too.

  And some Single Malt.

If last year is anything to go by we shouldn't have any trouble getting all the food needs covered.  Also, last year tons of folks were super helpful in terms of helping with set-up, running the cooking operations, and cleaning up.  If we can repeat that performance this year I'm not in the least bit worried about having any problems.

I'll add it to the list up top, but some firewood would a good thing for folks to bring.  I brought a bunch last year, but I won't have anything nearly dry enough by ORC to be worth bringing.
