PIONEER DAYS

7 am- 7 pm

 Pioneer Day's Cafe

Sponsored by Sawyer's Artisan

Located in the Memorial Hall

A very tired Jen & Matt Sawyer, after a long, long day on their feet baking for a huge crowd. This was our first year opening the cafe for Pioneer Days. Some of the problems were caused by their food being so darn good! Lines of people, sold out food; are all good things for us but bad for our customers.

We are already discussing how to fix the problem for next year. We look forward to fun menu planning in the year to come.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Cassandra and her friends, who rescued us in the lunchtime rush. John--you were awesome in every role you played in the kitchen. Thanks for your hard work everyone!

Thank you to Tim Pitman and John Lunde Pitman for all your hard work getting this together. It was not an easy task making a 9 hole golf course and working a full time job, as well as raising a large family. Thank you to Johnie Pitman for all of your assistance. Thank you to all the sponsors for trusting us to get the job done in time.

It is a work in progress. We are creating more obstacles and we will be stretching the carpet to eliminate the bubbling from the heat. We hope to have it set up again for your enjoyment in a few weeks.

The course is available for your fundraising needs. Minimal fee charged and we can help set up and transport the course. It can be used inside or outside. Email info@pioneerdays.org for more informaton.
