Welcome Blazing Family!
What a fair it was! Couldn't have been better if we tried. Here is a rolodex of your fellow Blazing Family so you can invite them to your BBQ's and Baby Showers. (You should remember the password, it has something to do with the food you may have been dreaming about all year. If you are really stuck on the password,

You can also check out the recipes, just in case you find yourself craving an Avocado Dreamboat. Just make sure you invite a hundred friends over too, these recipes are big!

Food Handlers Cards

We are a food booth and serving food that is safe is incredibly important to us. Serving it in the dusty, outdoor environment of the Country Fair makes it even more important that we are ALL diligent in knowing proper and safe food handling procedures. If you have a food handlers card in either Washington or Oregon, great, please bring it along so we can post it for the health inspector. If you don't, and have time to get one, it would be super duper awesome!

Luckily for you Lane County has made it incredibly easy and put the manual and the test online and it only costs $10! Blazing Salads will gladly reimburse you the cost of the test. So what are you waiting for? Set aside 20 minutes or so and learn a few things that may apply to keeping your own kitchen safe, as well as those thousands of happy fair goers who eat at Blazing Salads. You can pay online and print out your card at the end of the course on your home computer. Now how cool is that??

Registration Info

Here are some general procedures for getting registered, parked and into the fair.

Here are DIRECTIONS TO THE FAIR

If you are arriving Wed. or Thurs. you must enter the site from Suttle Rd. You should park wherever they tell you to, and go to the registration booth out in the parking lot. Registration will be open 8am to midnight on Wed. and Thurs.

IMPORTANT !! at the registration booth they will ask your for my name so they can pull the Blazing Salads packet, so remember Jill Carter.

Don't forget to have picture I.D with you at registration!!!

Once you have your wrist band and a vehicle sticker on your car you can haul your stuff in. We will have our wheelbarrow for use since you will usually wait forever to get a peach cart. No one is allowed into the figure 8 from Tues. on without a pass of some sort (day pass or wrist band).

Parking

I have tried to get as many people as possible to carpool and we can only spread the 12 vehicle stickers we have around so far, so please coordinate with me (Jill) if you still have room in your car.

Things to remember to bring

• John says, don't forget your flashlights, those toilets are getting pretty scary in the dark and it seems like lots of people don’t bring ‘em. The little kind like Mini-Mags that you can put on a string around your neck or the pocket LED kind are great!!
• Think about rain, it always seems to come in the middle of the night, so make sure you bring ground tarps and a rain fly for your tents.
• Some years if get's pretty cool at night, so bring some long sleeve something for the nippier evenings, just in case.
• Don't forget a towel! The saunas have a nice firepit to sit by and dry off, but a towel is sure nice.
• We have a car battery powered cell phone charger in the back of the booth, so if you wan to to top off your cell phone, bring your cigarette lighter adapter or your USB cord.
• Mosquitoes are always a big issue, especially Tues - Fri. So bring whatever poison suits you.
• We miss the music in the back yard!! If you can make music, bring it along.
• Don't forget to bring your beautiful smiles, your playful natures and fun hats.
