Weather Harms Fish Fry Attendance

The violent weather system which walloped Marysville, Indiana also put a damper on our fish fry attendance.  I don't think the tornado siren going off an hour before we opened encouraged many elderly parishioners, our main customer base (and the Republican party's electoral base), to come out to eat. We had about 120 pounds of fish thawed out, and probably only served about 70 pounds. We ended up taking about 30 pounds of uncooked fish home with us, and gave away about 20 pounds of cooked fish to the men's shelter down the street. While we struggled to break even on the night, I'll take that any day over what the folks of Marysville and other towns went through.

I'll say it again, Mother Nature is a bitch.
