Tickets, menu and pickup times announced for Baker City Knights fish fries

The Baker City Knights of Columbus announced two Lenten fish-fry dinners scheduled for Friday, Feb. 27 and Friday, March 13 at St. Francis de Sales Cathedral in Baker City. The Knights’ announcement says it provides menu basics, ticket prices and pickup and dine-in times for those two community dinners.

The announcement as posted by the council does not publish full menu items or exact ticket prices in its brief notice; the council’s public statement indicates those specifics are included in the full event information that accompanies the notice. The two dates are the only Baker City events explicitly listed by the Knights for late winter Lenten fish fries.

Parish councils across the region offer clear precedents for what residents can expect. For example, an SVDPParish notice for its council’s Lenten fish fry reads: "Join us at the Knights Hall from 4pm – 7:30pm on Fridays, February 27th, March 13th & 27th, for an amazing meal with great fellowship. Tickets are $14 for adults, $6 for kids 6-12, & FREE for kids 5 & under. Stop in at the rectory, business office, or school office to purchase tickets." Those dates mirror the Baker City schedule on Feb. 27 and March 13 but the SVDPParish posting applies to its own Knights Hall and ticketing procedures.

Menu examples from nearby councils show a range of offerings and service times. A KMAland event listing for a different Knights series at St. Mary’s lists fried pollack and baked cod, potato cakes, mac & cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, coffee and orange juice with serving hours of 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., and names LeRoy Vrbsky as a contact. The region’s diocesan bulletins also cite drive-thru and dine-in formats: one parish bulletin states, "PRE-LENT FISH FRY (DRIVE-THRU ONLY) Friday, Feb. 7, 4-7 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 819 Hwy. 63, Westphalia. Serving Fried Fish, Apple Sauce, Baked Beans, Hush Puppies, Cole Slaw, and Buttered Potatoes. $14 per plate."

For Baker City, the council’s announcement is the authority on the St. Francis de Sales dinners; it indicates the full menu, ticket pricing and whether the events will offer pickup, dine-in or both. Those details will determine how many meals the Knights plan to serve on Feb. 27 and March 13 and how ticketing will be handled for adults and children. The Baker City Knights of Columbus and St. Francis de Sales Cathedral are listed as hosts for both evenings at the cathedral.
