That being said, both Emma and I are looking forward to the Straw Poll tomorrow. Emma will be busy volunteering with Tim Pawlenty's Campaign and I'll be busy tweeting, writing and blogging for CAPE PAC. It is also my husband's first straw poll, as he was in Iraq four years ago.
So who is serving what? And why no Hickory Park?
Tim Pawlenty will have Famous Daves' BBQ and Dairy Queen Blizzards. Blizzarrdsmmmm.
Herman Cain will have Godfather's Pizza. MmmmmTacoGodfathersPizza.
Michele Bachmann will have artists Randy Travis, Charles Billingsley, Tim Rushlow, and Richie McDonald providing free entertainment at her air-conditioned tent...but no word on what she's serving.
Ron Paul's camp will serve hot dogs, as well as catered pork barbecue, potato salad, grilled sweet corn, baked beans, soft drinks, bottled water and ice cream. BUT, Ron Paul's people were asked to kick in $10 towards the $30 ticket, whereas most of the campaigns cover the cost of the ticket for their supporters.
Rick Santorum will be giving away jars of homemade jam. Ummm...okay?
Thad McCotter got one of the most prime spots of real estate at the Straw Poll...but no one is quite sure what he's serving.
So for the main question....Why no Hickory Park?
I messaged my insiders of the Ames foodies group and heard back from the Hickory Park manager.
She said, "We are not catering any candidates this year. It is so labor intensive we decided to not accept any contracts this year."
So it wasn't that any candidate didn't get Hickory Park catering. It's that Hickory Park wasn't doing catering for any candidate.
And now you know.
