Coffee
and Rolls at the Senior Center
then the famous
Barbecue in the Park
| This year the Lind Senior Center and Thrivent served sweet rolls, coffee and ice tea to parade watchers and visitors to Lind. The camaraderie was great and appreciated by many. Thanks to all of you who joined us for a great time. |

And, now, on to the 2009 BBQ
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!
In back on the right...the man with dark
glasses...Doug Urquhart.
On the other side of the table in from the left, the guy with the dark hair
looks like Everett Conner and the guy you see between these two on the
right side looks like Jerry Branson!

Approximately 643 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.
The Cub Scouts
served the pies and pop to a very appreciative crowd. |
