25 Years (And More) Of Chicken Barbecue By Dayna M. Reidenouer

The Mount Joy Chamber of Commerce will hold its 25th annual chicken barbecue event on Saturday, Aug. 15, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the rear of the Milanof-Schock Library, 1184 Anderson Ferry Road, Mount Joy. “It’s actually been longer than 25 years, but it’s been that long since they started keeping track,” Chamber coordinator Kerry Meyers said. “One of the first years, it poured down rain. The volunteers absolutely got drenched. That’s when we introduced the tent.” No matter the weather, the chicken barbecue sale has continued. Last year’s event offered 1,250 meals. This year,

1,000 meals will be prepared, and each will include a half-chicken, a baked potato, applesauce, a whoopie pie, a roll, and a beverage. Half-chickens accompanied by a beverage will also be available. “ We try to make sure monetary sponsorships cover the costs,” Meyers explained. “If you don’t sell out for any reason, you don’t want to eat a lot of that cost.” As the Chamber coordinator, Meyers has a unique insight into the health of Mount Joy-area businesses. Knowing that the shutdown has reduced incomes for most companies, she set a goal of $3,700 in sponsorships, half of what was generated last year. Previously, the See Chicken Barbecue pg 2
