Like I said, "Calculate ALL costs."

My gun club charges $10 a head at our annual Saturday Pig Roast. BBQ'd
apple in the mouth pig (12 to 16 hours over charcoal) wearing a cap and
shades at presentation, fried chicken, corn on the cob, beans, a couple of
different slaws, 'tater and/or macaroni salad, buns, a whole table of
desserts and refills on all. 200 to 300 people show up and leftovers are
finished the next day for lunch at $2 or $3 a head. We triple-blind raffle
off pistols, rifles, ammo, gun safes, knives and all kinds of stuff.
Raffled off an M-1 Garand a couple of years ago. What a beauty. It's our
biggest fund-raiser of the year, although Oktoberfest does good, too.
I think your local Pit may be over-charging.
Oh, I fergot. That's Canadian $. ;-)
