They worked together to make slaw, eye and cut up potatoes, cook the pigs, chop and season the pork and then serve the plates. The take- out plates had to be delivered and the eat-in plates served. The clean up afterward was a big job also. Many people helped and everyone worked hard. It was a happy and bonding experience. Appreciation is expressed to all who helped and to all who ate barbecue and made donations. By BARBARA HARDISON / Published Tuesday, October 14, 2008 10:28 pm
