BBQ Fellowship Huge Success

 

Saturday Ed McCoy put together his crew consisting of Bill Allen and Mike Bowland and smoked the best barbeque pork and chicken you’ll have anywhere around.  Ed’s skills came from his parents who owned a BBQ restaurant in Selma, Alabama. 

I’m sure they’re proud he’s carrying on the tradition here at St. Francis.  A record group of spectators and well wishers attended the all day Saturday event and the reward for being there was the famous McCoy fish fry.  John Rouser thought it was chicken, but don’t tell him. The fellowship lasted until…..  Ed’s pork and chicken pullers got started Sunday morning at 9:30 after attending the 8 am service.  Stacy and her crew got everything organized at All Saints Cabin and a great meal was had by all.  Thanks go out to everyone who worked to make this annual event possible including all those who brought side dishes.
