Food Vendors needed at State Parle
Champoeg State Park has an op
portunity for persons, preferably
CTGR Tillicum, interested in cook
ing and selling indigenous food at
one of their major summer events
"Indian Summer."
Despite the name, the event is a
pioneer celebration of the harvest.
It's scheduled to be held on Septem
ber 25 and 26. The persons who parr
ticipate in this event would need to
be prepared to cook and serve items
such as salmon, corn on the cob, fry
bread, or whatever else might be con
sidered indicative of the "pioneer
era," or indigenous.
Park officials say they typically get
around 3,000 people attending the
event daily. Of those 3,000 people,
between three and four hundred
buy a meal there each day. This is a
good money making opportunity for
someone with experience cooking for
large numbers of people.
If you are interested in being the
featured food vendor at this event
please contact Perri McDaniel at
(503) 879-2487 or Sheila Herber at
(503) 879-2492. Toll-free at 1-800-422-0232.
