Breakfast at the Fairground

The NMRS is fortunate to have the Oscoda County Fairground available for the location of the Relief Sale.  Six large buildings, a large covered stage for the music concert and auction, and, not least, a lovely wooded outdoor setting.  The site really shows off the reasons why someone would want to be in Northern Michigan in the summer time.

One of the older buildings at the fairground is the “Lion’s Club Kitchen” building.  It is the site of the Saturday morning sausage and pancake breakfast and the noon barbeque chicken lunch.   It is  bit of a nervous time when the various refrigerators and freezers are turned on for the first time each year.  There are usually one or two that need some attention from the local refrigeration repair guy, Jerry.  Fortunately, Jerry has been in the business long enough to have some out of production spare parts and a supply of the older refrigerant on hand to get these old units operational for another year.

This year when you come to the Saturday morning breakfast, we expect to have a newer look.  The Riverside Mennonite Church puts on the breakfast each year, and this year they have decided to do some remodeling in their area of the kitchen.   With some custom built cabinets and newly painted wall paneling, the breakfast area will be a brighter place when they open for business at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.

I’ll be there.  There’s no waiting line at that time of the morning!
