We need volunteers to help out with ALL phases of the booth. From fish cutting on Friday, Oct 3rd at SSH including booth set up in Manhattan Beach to tearing down and cleaning up on Sunday the 5th, Monday and Tuesday. All in Oct. for the Hometown Fair. They need to get in touch with Jamie Orr who is coordinating the booth at: 310-699-2924 or sign up at SSH. This is our first booth in three years and the MB folks want us back badly. We’re a hometown favorite.

We hope to have Fish Taco Booths at other community events like the "Abbot Kinney Days" or the "Malibu Chili Cook-off" in the near future, so please join us next weekend to see how much fun it is to host this perennial favorite.

p.s. "County Recurrent" inquired whether Manhattan Beach local lifeguard legend and Fish Taco purveyor, Micah Carlson, would be working the booth but Joel told us that since Micah is married now that he could not be certain of his participation. No doubt this will affect patronage to the booth so Joel and Jamie will be interviewing other LACo Ocean Lifeguards who have the same potential drawing power.

Until next time.....
