Canards West Fly-In: 6/3 - 6/5, 2016

[Marc Zeitlin]

As Don Denhard has announced previously, we will hold the Canards West Fly-In on June 3rd through June 5th, 2016, at the Columbia, CA airport (O22). Monitor:

for more information as it becomes available with respect to events/presentations/etc.

 

There are a couple of changes this year. First, the good news - we've got a new caterer, who will be providing the following menu:

 

Garlic Bread

Grilled Veggie Platter - (red peppers, zucchini etc)

Caesar Salad

 

Pork & Figs - (slow roasted pork roast simmered in a marsala fig sauce)

Chicken Picatta - (pan roasted chicken breast in a lemon caper sauce)

Three Cheese Tortellini - (simmered in a pesto cream sauce)

 

Assorted Italian Cookies and Cakes - ( lemon ricotta cookies, Florentines Etc.)

 

You do NOT have to choose one or the other of the three main dishes, as in previous years - there's enough of everything for everyone.

 

Now the marginally less good news - the price for the dinner is going up from $25/person to $35/person. Given that the cost of the event has not changed in 12 years, and the food has previously, how to say, been sub-optimal, we're viewing this as a reasonable and good thing - as a percentage of the total cost of attending (motel, flying costs, fuel, etc.) this is a minor increase.

 

Please make your reservations at the local motels early - they can fill up - and PLEASE contact Tim Fisher (event organizer) ASAP to pay him and allow him to have an accurate head count. He is reachable at:
