Food- you can find a chicken-Que caterer in the Red Wing area. They either will cook it on site for you or they cook it off site at their catering business and bring it out. In the La Crosse area, a half chicken dinner, catering cost is about $6-$7 a plate (including desert). Ask the convention/visitors bureau for a list of catering companies that do this. I hire one every summer for a car show, we hire a caterer to cook 600, 1/4 chicken lunches, at $5 a plate. A smaller amount such as you will need, will drive the price up a bit, but if you can piggy-back your event with another event in town, the caterer can deliver, set up a serving table for you, etc. Eliminates all the work, and caterers do it everyday, so it is easy, nothing much to worry about. In my area, the caterers prefer you handle your own beverages. So, you set up a byo beverage. Or, if you want to have soda, that is easy to set up. We charged $1 per 12 oz can of soda, made a bit of profit off of it, but someone has to do the selling and count the money. Do not serve beer or alcohol, liability issues. Folks can bring their own alcohol beverages. ts
