Good turnout, dinner crowd is slowing down. Lots of slow moving folks but very satisfied.

NCD Portland: Starting slow, finishing strong

NCD Portland had a good final turnout. The festivities didn't really get going until the second tipoff of the day, but then good folk a-plenty came out for it. Beautiful weather might have been the culprit, but it also extended the party into the backyard which was a nice treat.

Of note this year, was Portland's first (I don't know if it was the nation's first) BACK-TO-BACK TRIPLE DOUBLE, completed by Jeff Bernius, much to the dismay of his wife and family.

All told, we had probably 30 people with an estimated 115 dogs consumed.

Portland Checkin

Portland had a split in the roster. Pre-noon brought 5-6 families with kids and lots of friends. Kids couldn't handle the pace.
A second wave of well-wishers showed up mid 3rd round and turned it on. Yet all told, only one Triple Double was accomplished.
Jeff Bernius.
I believe the first TD in the over 40 class? Any accounts to refute out there?

St. Patty's Hangover

Hosting your first Corndog Day? Take heart. In the past, there have been occasions where NCD fell the day after St. Patrick's Day. This can mean a very slow beginning, as people are sleeping in and taking their own sweet time getting to the festivities.
These people are not your friends. These people have chosen to honor an antiquated saint from a country that, to date, still refuses to recognize corndogs as a treasure worth devoting an entire day to. Come noon, they may start rolling in with tales of "I had an errand to run..." or "I thought the game started later.."
Nay, should you say. Nay.
Corndog Day does not play second fiddle.
