ZAPP HONORED THE IRISH, BIG TIME!

This past Tuesday, March 17th, ZAPP held the annual St Patty's Day Feast, and Dance Party at Ocotillo to benefit our spay & neuter project. Fortunately or unfortunately, the guests were much more interested in eating and talking, than they were in dancing. We presold 145 tickets before the event, and sold 82 more tickets at the door, for a total of 227 meals. To say the least, we were under prepared for the turnout. Chef Mark Dille ran the kitchen, along with Irene Smith, Joannie Rude, Alayne & Charlie Havener and Laurie Barszcz. It was non-stop from the beginning till the end. No buffet lines and waiting at this event. As soon as everyone got a seat, they were fed by a super group of servers. The bar was run by award winning bartender, Marcie Parra, and I guess folks are still raving about her margaritas. Micro Brewed "Rolling Man Red Irish Ale" was donated by Baja Brewers Home Brew Club and enjoyed by all. We're looking forward to next year, for sure!!!
