Benefit
‘Hot Dog Buffet’ Dinner
Are you
looking for a fun evening meal out with your family? Would you like
your neighbors to cook for you? Then you’ll want to mark Saturday,
August 29th, 2015 on your calendars!
Barnstead
community members are sponsoring a Hot Dog Buffet Dinner to benefit our
neighbor Dave LeBrecque. Dave has contributed much to Barnstead and the
success of our Open Farm Day since it’s inception.
Recently
Dave has had medical issues that have prevented him from working full
time. This has had a negative effect on his income. The benefit dinner
is the community’s way to honor him by providing a financial gift to
help him at this time.
We will
have a great selection of hot dog toppings including sauerkraut,
homemade chili & cole slaw and Dave Murley’s famous baked beans. Dessert
will include luscious pies donated by Duane Family Farm, and Fahma Jo’s
chocolate chip cookies. Lemonade, iced tea & water will be served.
The buffet
will be held from 4:30 until 6 pm or until we run out of food! It will
be held at the Barnstead Parade Fire station.
The cost is
your generous donation!
Please come
join us on August 29th and help us make it a great success!
If you have
questions, please call Don Walker at 892-4803 or Joanne Locke at
387-7539.
