Tim, Gena, Neal & Kathy,
What an
outstanding repast last night at the
Youth Dinner Theatre. The salad
was a perfect opener; the pork
tenderloin was fork-friendly and an
outstanding presentation with the
grilled pineapple; the wild rice and
asparagus and hollandaise sauce were
perfect choices; and the desserts were
to die for. The table
arrangements, the service, silent
auction, and the program were all
exceptional. You all have set a
very lofty bar for future events.
Thanks for all that you do for God's
Kingdom on earth.

What a
wonderful reunion, thanks to Tim and his
ServeAll crew. From start to
finish we were treated like royalty as
the team personally served us the best
catered meal most of us had ever
experienced. A tribute to the food
quality and preparation skills is that
we ate almost everything. Don't
misunderstand us, there was plenty of
variety and quantity - it was just plain
"good". The staff's personal
attention to the kids in the group was
extraordinary and appreciated by every
parent there.
We had a
group of 35 hungry people who left the
banquet hall happy and satisfied that
they had received the best food and
service available, anywhere. We
recommend ServeAll to all who want to be
served.

Dear Shawn & Tim:
There are not enough words to tell
you just how much I appreciate your hard
work and participation in our recent
Savoir Fair event last month. I'll begin
by saying, in the most sincere tone,
thank you.
We all experienced a long day, heavy
crowds and a hectic pace. As a result of
your help, the event ran smoothly and
was tremendously successful.
I look forward to us doing more
events together in the future. Again,
thanks for being a part of Savoir Fair.
Sincerely,
Jim Stout

New Smyrna Beach Observer: Town ready
for a party
Seaside
Fiesta has biggest turnout following
rainout

BY THOMAS
E. TIPTON, Staff Writer
NEW
SMYRNA BEACH - The eleventh
modern day version of the
Seaside Fiesta arrived a
week late, but still
attracted an elbow-to-elbow
crowd along the length of
Flagler Avenue.
"There
must be 20,000 people here.
We have cars parked across
the North Causeway all the
way to Food Lion," Steve
Dennis, executive
vice-president of the
Chamber of Commerce, said.
The
Seaside Fiesta traditionally
opens the summer season in
the City. This year's
festival offered food,
games, prizes, music,
shopping, clowns, face
painting, and even a pet
sheep.
Mitch
Cole, president of the
Rotary Club, said. "I
remember when the Lions Club
sponsored this in the '50s
and '60s. We had big
crowds then, but this is the
largest crowd I have seen
here in a long time."
Asked
about the involvement of the
Rotary Club in the Fiesta,
Cole said, "We use the money
for our Scholarship fund.
The kids are the future of
New Smyrna Beach. We
work with the Little League
and soccer, and we have also
adopted the Family
Rehabilitation Center on
Faulkner Street this year.
"Many
of us used to help build the
booths and the stage for the
beauty contest in the
Flagler parking lot.
We had a lot of fun back
then, but it was worth the
effort. I'm glad the
rain last week didn't keep
people away this week,"
Dennis said.
Dennis' reference was to the
time that area residents
joined the Lions Club and
built a midway and giant
stage in the Flagler Avenue
parking lot. The
beauty pageant was important
to the city, because the
winner represented New
Smyrna Beach in many city
activities, and also in
other events in the area.
The
traditional ending to the
Seaside Fiesta was the
shooting of fire works on
the beach in front of the
Flagler Boardwalk.
Many old-timers will
remember standing on the
boardwalk, watching the
aerial show.

Robert
and Suellen Biferie, new
residents of the city, loved
the night out on the town.
We
haven't been here that long,
but I'm glad we moved here.
This is a great event. I
love it," Biferie said.
"The
Fiesta offers something for
everybody. We have
young families, senior
citizens, and everything in
between. This is great fun
for everyone one,"
Adele Hodson, owner of 'Gone
Bonkers,' and president of
the Flagler Avenue Merchants
Association , said.
"It is
also great for the
non-profit organizations.
They get the chance to let
the people know they are
here," Hodson said.
The
Lions Club challenged expert
shooters to knock plastic
cylinders off a pedestal
with plastic balls, Rotary
members gave kids a chance
to show their basketball
skills, the, New Smyrna
Beach High
School Junior Smyrna
Varsity Cheerleaders spent
the evening painting faces
with many 'cheerful
designs,' and Sissy. the
Clown made fancy shapes with
balloons.
Music
filled the streets as
several groups offered a
variety of music and the
pleasant aroma of food
filled the air.
Tim
Cranis, "The Sausage Guy,"
stood behind a grill loaded
with sausage and onions.
"This is great. I can't
believe all the people that
came out for this event. I
wish I had the time to talk
to more of them, but I'm
just too busy. I hope they
do this again next year."
"This
is phenomenal. It is
lots of fun. This is
the type of celebration that
makes you want to live here,
and if you don't live here,
you want to move
here,"Phrieda Tuten said.
She and husband Richard
moved here 31 years ago.

Festival Food That's
Different
By
Carole Arthurs
Observer staff
Not
the typical art festival
food ... not this year!
The Maitland Rotary Art
Festival is trying something
new this year and they are
sure the art festival crowd
is just going to love it.
How about Caesar Salad in a
Bread Bowl? Does that
tempt your palate?
Would you like a Bloomin'
Onion to go with it?
Or Papa John's Pizza?
Or freshly made fajitas?
Sound delicious?
There's more!
Tim
Cranis of Central Florida
Festivals specializes in
large events and serves the
food out of two large 10 x
20 tents instead of the
typical row of food vendors.
"A lady from Tampa makes the
Caesar Salads in the bread
bowls and another lady from
Tampa makes the bloomin'
onions with a
|
special twist of her own,"
says Cranis. Plus they
will serve the typical fare
of funnel cakes, gryos,
hamburgers, hot dogs, and
sausage with onions and
peppers. There will be
a variety of drinks
including freshly, squeezed
lemonade from Bob's Lemonade
and fresh fruit frozen
drinks, sno cones for the
kids, bottled water and
more.
"We
will also serve fresh hot
coffee and Dunkin Donuts
both Saturday and Sunday
morning," added Cranis.
Cranis
says he likes to give back
to the community so members
of the Jaycees and Optimist
Clubs will man the Coke
wagons to receive a
percentage of the profits
for their clubs.
Cranis
has received many letters
and awards for his food
service. He has served
food at the City of
Altamonte Springs
community-oriented,
Halloween event at Cranes
Roost Lake Park and the 42nd
Annual Florida Folk Festival
in Altamonte Springs.
He received an award of
recognition from Secretary
of State Jim Smith.

"I'm
looking forward to serving
the Maitland community at
the Maitland Rotary Arts
Festival," says Cranis.
In
addition to the food from
Central Florida Festivals,
the Rotary Club will serve
their hamburgers and hot
dogs again in. the Rotary
Tent, manned by Rotary
members and their wives.
"This is a husband and wife
affair," said Graham
Hamilton, chairman of this
year's festival. "We all
work together for the
benefit of the organizations
served by the Maitland
Rotary."
The
Rotary Club will also have
beer trucks scattered
throughout the Festival for
those, thirsty festival
attendees.
