HONORING HERITAGE AND THANKING CUSTOMERS — Kris Black, Administrative Manager

The 2024 Customer Appreciation BBQ, celebrating the cooperative’s 90th year in business, was a big hit with both patrons and employees! Live music by Pacific Twang, Sweet Art Cotton Candy, Giggles Entertainment with airbrush face painting, Muggshotz Caricatures, the ever-popular Toppin’s FroYo truck, flowers by Bushel & Bloom, and cakes decorated by “Just Tell Me What You Want…” all added to the festivities. A big shout out to Mario, Princess Peach, Bowser, and an appearance from Donkey Kong (thank you Tom Boland for playing along with the theme!) added a little extra fun for kids and adults alike.

We served almost 740 people this year with 250 pounds of salmon, 95 dozen oysters, 825 steaks, 70 pounds of hot dogs, and 140 quarts of salads, plus baked beans, fruits, veggies, chips, dinner rolls and cake! Over 50 employees from both sides of the Cascades (plus a handful of other volunteers) worked hard and had fun serving our guests. They made sure everyone was well taken care of. Thank you to our customers for attending and to everyone who worked so hard to make this annual event a success!
