The best food bash west of the Rockies
Every February, Campbell Boat Owners kick off the season the only way that makes sense—together, with a serious meal and zero pretension.
What started years ago as the Polar Bear Run has become the club’s legendary Clam Bake: a full-on food bash put on by members, for members. Expect a packed house, long tables, and the kind of potluck energy that only happens when a few dozen Campbell families decide to outdo last year.
Past Clam Bakes have been powered by volunteers like Jan and Kevin Burkhardt, Beth and Brad Riggen, Terry and Mitch Parker, Kat and Dan Flores, and a long list of helpers who keep the tradition rolling. The menu changes a little each year; the hospitality doesn’t.
Whether you’ve owned a Campbell for decades or just got the keys, this is the easiest way to meet the group, swap stories, and start the year on the right foot.
