Ask anyone who attended. They will tell you, the Icebreaker this year was great! About 80 members and guests sat down to a wonderful seafood buffet on Saturday, May 14. "The food was hot, delicious, and plentiful," was a recurring comment from those who attended. "Our table was continuously cleared, and we never had to wait on drinks," was another. The dinner started with a salad bar and grilled shrimp, followed by quantities of lobster, crab legs, fish, prime rib, and scallop shish-kabobs. Not to mention the corn bread with honey butter; and chocolate cake and lemon mousse for desert. 
A big thank you goes to Lynn and Donna for making the shrimp and kabobs. And let's not forget to give another big thank you to Lisa and her crew for making this the best Icebreaker in several years!

The board, along with Commodore Bower, would like to thank each and every member that attended the 2021 Commodore’s Dinner. Jinnger Moore did an amazing job organizing the event; thank you Jinnger! A special thank you to Ben & Sonya Gruner for hosting the event at their wonderful facility, as well as Ludovico’s for the delicious food. 
We had a great turnout, with about 80 members and guests.  The auction of baskets, provided by the board members plus Dick Gruner, raised an impressive $3,650.00! Thank you to all who bid on the wonderful baskets.  
It was a great night to see old friends and meet new ones.  We are extremely excited for the upcoming season and cannot wait to see you all at the Casper Boat Club!  Remember, the Club opening is April 16th.

​Can you say seafood-fest? That’s what greeted members who attended the 2019 Icebreaker on May 18. Luscious lobster, sizzling scallops, and (pre) cracked crab legs were just a few of the items on the menu. Additional food included various shrimp, roast beef, pork loin, veggies, and salad bar. Over 90 people attended, and virtually all members gave a thumbs up on the quality and quantity of the food. In addition, having the food in the bar and allowing people to move from the dining room to the bar through the hallway, proved to be a popular change in serving the buffet style menu. Most everyone agreed the cost of the buffet was a great value. A big thank you to the servers, cooks, and bartenders for making this a very successful event. Make sure you attend next year!

Another successful Beach Party, although marred a bit by weather. Kids enjoyed the games provided by the entertainment committee, and the burgers and dogs were excellent, cooked on the barbecue right at the beach house. There was plenty of seating and when the weather turned a bit cooler with some sprinkles, the "campfire" was a hit. Eventually rain forced the party to move to the dining room at the club. However, this turned out to be the perfect venue for Aquile, and members enjoyed his music for the remainder of the evening.

One could rightfully ask, what do horses, seafood, and moms have in common? When you're talking about the 2018 season at Casper Boat Club, the answer is clear. These are the first organized events held at the Boat Club this season (excluding clean up day)...and what do they have in common? Success!

​The Kentucky Derby Party was a success measured by anyone who was there. Betting buckets, wild costumes, contests/raffles, and great Derby themed food and drink, provided the 40 or so members and guests, a great ride while watching the race on the overhead TV. The decorations, food, and drink created an atmosphere that definitely gave everyone a sense of really being at the 144th Kentucky Derby. Too bad the Kentucky Derby happens only once a year!

The Icebreaker was the first big food event of the season. Cooks, Josh and Mike really showed their talents as they prepared and served (10 minutes early!) a fabulous seafood buffet. The almost 100 attending members enjoyed lobster, crab legs, scallops, and shrimp of various kinds, served next to prime rib and Chicken Marsala. And don't forget the cheesecake. The included red/white wine on each table along with drink service provided the "icing on the cheesecake." The staff kept the food coming and the tables cleared. Ask anyone who attended, and you'll hear something like, "the scallops were awesome; the cheesecake was wonderful; the crab legs were unending, the lobster was amazing." You get the idea. For a cost of $60, anyone who was there will tell you it was value beyond cost, especially when you include the camaraderie of the Boat Club community. The Icebreaker/Seafood Fest is back!

Finally, Mother's Day Brunch. Nothing need be explained about this special day honoring these special women. To honor the many mothers in the Boat Club community, the Club offered a great buffet brunch which included, prime rib and ham cut the way moms like it best, served alongside green bean casserole, scalloped potatoes and more. Breakfast items included croissants, sausage, pancakes, and quiche. About 70 moms/families attended during the brunch hours. The Club staff did a great job as a follow up to the huge success of the Icebreaker the previous night. How do they do it?!

If these early season events are any indication of what the Club staff can do, it looks to be a successful season indeed. Many thanks to Club manager Tim for his organizational skills. We want to thank Josh and Mike (cooks), and all of the servers and staff who made these three events such a success: Thank you Joe, Heather, Holly, Leslie, Raeanna, and Kalle.

The CBC members are eagerly looking forward to the next event. Members are welcomed to leave a comment. If you have questions about future events, please contact the Entertainment Committee or call the Club.
