WILD WEST FEST AND BOAT RIDE

Boyd Coffee Company’s anniversary awardees will be honored with a cruise aboard the Sternwheeler Saturday, May 7. Employees with milestone anniversaries between January 24 and December 31, 1993, will receive their service awards during the boat ride. The cruise will feature a brunch for the awardees, and their spouses or guests, with

members of the Boyd family and the Management Team. The relaxing two-hour cruise on the Willamette River offers great views of Portland; it will begin at 10:30 in the morning. The E.A.T. subcommittee planning the event will provide directions and an itinerary for the awardees.

Casino Night for Buckaroos and Buckarettes

Wild West Casino Night is also Saturday, May 7. Plan for your covered (it’s May, but this is Oregon) Red Wagon to reach the end of the Oregon Trail at 7:30. All employees and retirees and their pardners are invited to the after-dinner party. The hoedown is at the Lloyd Center Red Lion this year, which offers Red Lion’s renowned hospitality in a more central location.

We will be playing casino games with scrip or play money, dancing, rustling up goodies, and lassoing espresso drinks and cowboy coffee. Alcoholic beverages are available from the Red Lion saloon. Professional gambling dealers will host blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker games. The E.A.T. is planning to have a quieter “corral” area for just saying “howdy" or shooting the breeze (no firearms, please). Other entertainment is being planned.

Kick up (or off) Your Heels

You may dress to fit the theme, dress for success, dress up, or just dress down from your professional attire. You won’t have to gamble on January weather this year.

Is the E.A.T. planning a Wild Night? You bet!
