Fish Fry! Food-Fun-Fellowship

WOW! They did it again. Bay Vue United Methodist Church had a successful Fish Fry that provided great food, great fun and great fellowship. This second annual Fish Fry, held on Saturday of Father’s Day Weekend, gathered more attendants than the first. Church volunteers worked hard to provide a superb fish lunch for $10. And superb it was! Diners who could either dine inside Fellowship Hall or take-out meals via a drive-through area, were heard to exclaim about how good everything tasted. The homemade chocolate cake, peach and cherry cobblers, at $2.00 a slice, were hits also.

However, it wasn’t just the good food, but also the fellowship that made this day such a joyful event. While eating inside, people visited with old friends and made new ones. Fellowship Hall was filled with a cacophony of happy voices. Some comments: “I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” “We plan to come to the beach this time next year so we can come back and eat.” “This is some of the best fish I have ever tasted.” “I think I will buy an extra plate to take home.” “Just keep the change and count it as a donation.”

Volunteers were heard to exclaim,” I didn’t know this could be so much fun.” “OK, let’s keep our group for next year because we work so well together.” Chairperson Linda C. Elissalde explained, “I don’t do anything but hold a few meetings and paint a few signs. All of the chairpersons and committees do all the hard work. They plan and execute everything on their own. These intelligent and gracious folk figure out ways to make things move faster and more efficiently. You can’t find a better group anywhere.”

Pastor Valerie Hudson, who was out taking orders from Drive Through people, expressed her gratitude. She was very impressed with all the membership. “They had everything so well organized that it ran most smoothly,” was one of her many compliments.

At the end of the day, tired workers cleaned away the debris, but stated that they would participate in 2017. It just doesn’t get much better than a Bay Vue UMC Fish Fry.

Thank you, community and visitors. Please come join us again next year. We look forward to serving you.

There is no better food
Under the sky
Than the food you are served
At Bay Vue Fish Fry!
