Cruise Night Changes

It seems the folks at "The Station Grill" in Hollis did not follow the original schedule, so their cruise nights are every other Wednesday, with THIS Wednesday a cruise night. So the next will not be until July 1.

Meanwhile, the cruise at Panera Bread at Biddeford Crossing Mall is also every other Wednesday, on the weeks that the Station Grill is not hosting. So, Panera's next cruise night is next Wednesday, June 24.

Got that? Next Wednesday is Panera, and the following Wednesday is the Station Grill. Of course, Two Trails Fab 50's Diner in Standish is easier to remember - it is every Wednesday.

We attended the cruise at The Station House Grill. While the food was good and reasonably priced, we were not impressed with the drawings for the door prizes or the 50/50. Since they do not use a microphone, and the announcer talks quietly, about half the people were not even aware that the drawings were even taking place. By the time it was noticed, it was half over. Since the 50/50 was the FIRST drawing, most people missed it altogether. And the announcer kept his back to half the folks at all time, making it difficult to hear the numbers being called.

The organizer(s) at the Station House Grill need to get a mic, or a bullhorn, or SOME method of letting folks know what is going on.

I was in attendance at the station house, and the (sic) prizes were gifts the owners rec'd from their distributers, ie red budweiser hats, and for that we paid $5:00 for 10 tickets. The ice cream was good though. No more Wed's or Fridays in Maine for me.
