I am also sure that when the caterer pitched the menu to the Board it was 90% better than it ended up. You can only rely on the proposal and hope the rest goes well. Joan also mentioned the arena changed caterers or something like that. Sadly when you deal with an "Arena" you are left with no choices in caterers. You use what is there period. An elegant, or casual affair could be done right on the show site. We would then have choices. It would take some doing, but could be done. Victory Dinners should be special, from the food, to the ambiance, to the entertainment. Or at least thats what I think!
