Alrighty folks...Thought we'd put out a little update on the "Rumble at the River"...
With all the rain and flooding it has been a tumultuous two weeks for the folks down at Captains Quarters. As many of you are aware, the parking lot and most of the deck areas are currently underwater. THAT is the bad news. The GOOD news is that the water is cresting and thanks to the extremely hard work by Alan H and his entire crew, their has been very little (if any) damage to the restaurant itself. The CQ will be closed until Sunday to allow for cleanup but we are confident conditions will continue to improve allowing us to go forward with the Chowder Throwdown....So to be perfectly clear...We're still on for next Monday at the Captains Quarters.
In closing, many thanks to the people who have bought tickets...Due to the flooding, etc, ticket sales have been a wee bit flat for the past 2 or 3 days but we are still confident of a strong turnout. Fox 41 will be doing a live promo on their morning show on Friday (with a couple of our chef's doing a battle on live TV). We're anticipating (hoping ?) for another spike in sales after that program airs. So if you've been holding out on purchasing tickets to this event, you might want to do so before Friday.
