What Does It Take…?
Did you ever wonder what it takes to run a fish fry, especially one as large as ours?
Planning for this annual event begins months before with meetings between the organizers, communications, grounds and facilities, and volunteers, as well as corresponding with sponsors.
Organizers have a long checklist to take care of that includes things like banners, signs-ups, t-shirts, advertisements, parking, food deliveries, baking, media, office needs, setup, and more.
We wanted to give you a glimpse of what the check-list looks like since there is so much more than what meets the eye, especially when it comes to serving an average of 1200 meals each Friday during Lent.
Even though this list is long, and the endeavor of the All Saints Parish fish fry is huge, it is a ministry that we are honored to stand behind each year to serve the community while carrying on the tradition at All Saints Parish.
