I read it will now be a drive thru event for 2021. Bummer. I always went twice each year. Now, I will not be going at all.

It was suppose to return to a normal fair for the most part, but that was prior to the Delta surge

I work across the street, will I have to go to my car and drive across the street? Pre-Covid it was two days of lunches and two take home dinners, then I would bring the family on Saturday.

Usually weeks before there are US Food Refrig trailers all over. Haven't seen one yet. I assume they expect a much smaller volume of food going out.

They had a drive thru one day Greek Festival event a few months ago, and yes you had to be in a car.

Hopefully it won't be a long wait. I am not stubborn enough to pretend to not to want the food.

My favorite think was going during the day. Eating Lamb chops and drinking Retsina outside while people watching. I usually went twice each year. This year, nothing of interest to me.

They had two reefer units outside the church. They are ramping up!

Wonder how long the drive thru will take. I would like it to be quick enough for lunch.

Just heard they will also have a walk up section behind the cathedral for those not needing a car such office workers and downtown residents. We support their efforts every year since the beginning. They really contribute a lot to the Columbia metro community and deserve our support.

Yes, I just walked over, you can walk. It only took a few minutes. Walk up was very fast. Order at same tent that cars order from, then wait where they pick up. Very quick.
