Explosion Evergreen State Fair Edition

August 10, 2007 - International Basketball League (IBL)
Snohomish County Explosion News Release


The Explosion is excited again to be at the Evergreen State Fair. After six months of planning, we are ready to announce what our booth will be for this year. Last's year booth was a basketball court with a chance for participants to win tickets and 5,000 for a half court shot. Everyone had a great time with our skills challenge, including Tim Tuck, our $5,000 half court shot winner. This year is going to be huge as there will be something new for the Evergreen State Fair. We will be having the "Explosion Basketball Everglades Dinning House featuring Casper's", the first ever sit down dinning restaurant at the Evergreen State Fair. This will be located in the Evergreen State Fair next to the Family Fun Stage and next to the 500 Display Hall Barn.

That's correct - this will be a sit down restaurant and will take both walk up customers and a reservation list for your group so that everyone can eat in the comfortable surroundings as they are waited on by Explosion Staff, Players and Dance Team. Additionally, customers will have a chance to purchase the upcoming season tickets and a bunch of new merchandise.

Casper's, one of the Explosion exclusive partners, will be preparing the food (those with Explosion VIP access had a chance to taste his food all season long in the Tulalip VIP Lounge during halftime) and for the first time ever, a chance at the Evergreen State Fair to relax and sip southern style tea as you eat your dinner in luxury.

To help with this large task, the Explosion staff is looking for service staff to run the tables and work with both the Explosion and Casper's. We will need about 30 staff people as we will be staffing 9 people for the 10:00am-4:30pm shift, and will be staffing another 9 each day from 4:00pm-10:00pm. A food handler's card is required and will need to be presented along with a brief application for Casper's. Minimum wage will be paid to all workers along with tips.

The Evergreen State Fair Starts August 23rd and runs until September 3rd. If you're interested in helping serve food to a possible 900,000 people, are at least 14 years old, and either have a food handler permit or will get one in the next few weeks (cost is $10.00 at the Snohomish County Court House) please send an email to info@everettexplosion.com and we will send back information for you to fill out.

This is going to be a fun time and it will be a great way to meet the Explosion staff and players, and even watch a couple of the Explosion home games in the restaurant.

Cheers, Come and Join Us at the Fair.....
