VENDOR SUPPER AT AUGUST SHOW

At the March meeting there was discussion about food for the vendor supper Saturday night during the August show. We discussed hiring someone to do the pork and also asking for volunteers from the club to smoke it. Terry says it would probably take 100 lbs. of pork butt. If we have any ladies (or men) who would like to volunteer to cook any food items, we could save some money, especially on the pork. Pork could be smoked and froze ahead of the show date. The club would reimburse you. Please call Matt Avery, 269-506-9926, if you are interested.
