Barbecue in the Park
and
Breakfast at the Senior Center
Remember when--1966? An old-time BBQ in Lind's City Park,
sponsored by Active Club and the Lind Chamber of Commerce.
Recognize anyone? We
think that Fred Beck, Don Miller, Godfrey Sackmann
and possibly Everett Conner are in the foreground?
Any of you have any ideas? We'd love to hear from you!
And, now, on to the 2008 BBQ
|
Approximately 520 BBQ Pork dinners were served in City Park. The number
didn’t include royalty meals or free passes. Crowds gather directly
after the Grand Parade with the line extending from the food tables out
into the street. Again, the roast pork was a huge hit with the hungry
crowd.
Union Elevator supplied complimentary pie with each dinner in
recognition of their 100th year celebration. The Cub Scouts
served the pies to a very appreciative crowd. The local Cub Scouts also sold and served cold drinks |
 Check out the crowd! |
 It was definitely worth the wait |

| Senior Center Breakfast | ||
| The Senior Center hosted
a new event for the Derby Weekend. Serving a full course breakfast
was a very popular addition to the Saturday activities. Look for
them again in 2009....maybe on Sunday! |
