Kiwanis Annual Barbeque Combines Classic Cars , Camaraderie and Classic Cuisine The 42nd annual Barbeque sponsored by Temple City Kiwanis is ine of the biggest fundarisers of the year for the service club. Hundreds of people braved the hot Saturday weather to enjoy friends, family and food in a festive atmosphere that is one of Temple City’s favorite events each year. This year organizers had a superb selevtion of Model A Fords on hand in addition to the traditional BBQ. The Kiwanis BBQ supports local youth in Temple City. The fundraiser included entertainment, raffles, karaoke and some of the west’s best barbeque chicken.
Beef , chicken , salads from The North Woods Inn, corn on the cob, baked potatoes and their famous Kiwani baked Beans all helped Temple City Kiwanis and their neigbors enjoy a truly special evening. The event, held each year at Oak Intermediate School, was perhaps one of the best attended ever in the 42 years it has been put on. Orga nizers were pleased so many braved the hot early evening and those attending were treated to not only some great food but also were helping Temple City’s kids.
