From Bambi Gunnels....
Yesturday was finalized that we will no longer have the kitchen at the Pendleton Convention Center after July. I'm lost for words knowing we lost the bid to a outside catering from another state.. Not even a local business to help are community grow. So sorry Missy Fairbank that you didnt get it and for us who are out of a job soon.. It's so sad and makes me angry but I know when one door closes another great one opens.. I've worked for Outwest catering since 2009 but left for 2 years when went to Texas and came back in 2015.. It's been a long road, but fun, hard work, greats time and alot of amazing people along the way.. We have watch are Boss Patti Fairbank who has given so much to this community.. I've never meet anyone who would jump in and give with no questions asked.. Almost 15 years Outwest Catering has given to all the great events we've had along the way.. I know that when we leave the kitchen it will no longer be a open kitchen to public or to anyone. As well all fund rasier event that we donated are time, kitchen, items and food too.. This will all change and I won't be surprised when the new manager stop all of that.. He wants the prices higher for all meals and all events including consession stands.. It's crazy we Iive in Pendleton OR Not Portland OR.. Beside the fact you think were a Hamiley when all reality are building is like a shack.. I just want to Thank all the Great and Amazing People who have supported us along this journey.. There are so many but Happy Canyon and Pendleton Roundup, Musical Festival, Rocky Mountain Elks, Linebacker, Daddy Daughter Dance, Christmas Events, 2AA Tourments, Eastern Star and Rainbow Girls, Bazzars, Buck Booster Club And soooo Many many more has been awesome supporters and great to work with... We will finish this path with a bang and go out holding are heads high because we did and have been doing great job.. I fill like we are look down on cause not fancy enough or dont have a Chef, lol D
