EVENTS: Sidney Masons to hold annual pig roast

The Ancient Free and Accepted Masons invite the public to their third annual “Pig Roast”. Last year’s event was met with such enthusiasm; they decided to repeat this year. Rural Lodge #53, of Sidney, was established in 1827 and has always maintained a strong community presence.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Masons, they are a Service to Mankind Organization, located at 3000 Middle Road, Sidney. They do such projects as Bikes for Books, giving away as many as 18 bikes per year. They also raise funds for Project Graduation for a local high school, mandating no alcohol or drugs. They are also very active in a food drive for the Sidney Food Pantry. They also do what is caledl the Handy Brigade which gives assistance to the elderly and our veterans in need. They try to be a beacon of charity and good will in the community.

They are inviting one and all on Sunday, August 4, from 11 a.m. – 4 p.m., to enjoy a wonderful time and meal with them and perhaps some of your friends. It’s a great opportunity to get out and perhaps make new friends. The fare is all homemade and delicious. The course includes Rotisserie Pig, potato and macaroni salads, dinner rolls, Cole slaw and various drinks, cake.

The fee for this humanitarian fare is $12 for adults and $6 for children. So bring a smile and an empty stomach and enjoy the experience. This cause is great as mentioned above and you will leave with a full belly and a full heart. If you are on the run they can do TO-GO plates for your convenience. Thank you to sponsors Fanado Pelotte Construction, O’Connor Auto Park, Gary Allen, Dogg House Restaurant, Cony Hannaford, of Augusta, and the The Town Line newspaper.

This event will be in honor of recently deceased great Worshipful Wayne Ireland.
