About Our Facility
welcome to:
 | | On site, reasonably priced, 'real' food and beverages with |
| | designated bar and booth eating area
|
Mindful of the fond memories many in the area have of the old Green
Parrot, we've carefully preserved the 'patina' of the 'ol Dirty Bird.
(In other words, we scrubbed the heck out of it, but don't come lookin
for new!)
We want our buyers to be comfortable.
Can of pop = $1.00
Piece of cake = $1.50
Gray Wienie = $3.00
Place to sit = priceless!
Now, we've all driven long hours to an auction to
park. Out of the car, there's a long trek up a hill
and people standing 10 deep in front of wagons
heaped with boxes.
Hungry? $3 gray wienies floating in a crockpot,
bob for a $1 can of pop, then pull up a damp
piece of grass.
Necessities? Scott's got the pot, and hope you
remembered to EAT FIRST.
Now at the Green Parrot...
Our preferred location.
 | | Designated parking for a crowd
|
 | | Ring seating and, if possible, food service area
|
 | | Free on-site site pots of gold (the Irish in us!)
|
We got it all! Well, all but the pots of gold, and we'll probably have to | | settle for the used, copper-bottomed pots. OK, the point is that the Dirty Bird wasn't looking for a buyer. We didn't find a building, and make our needs fit it. We evaluated our needs, homed in on the Green Parrot facility then smiled real big when we got the keys. We took a few months trying to get everyone comfortable...new ceiling, new toilet seats (!), new lighting (from about 8 fixtures to 30+), new floor finish and new seating arrangement. There's probably not an owner, employee, neighbor or (hopefully) customer of the establishment that's not proud.
