Barbecue coordinator Christie Livengood noted that she hopes the troop sells 1,000 half-chickens this year. Both meals and half-chickens only will be for sale. Each meal will include a half-chicken, a bag of potato chips, a banana, a dessert, and a beverage. Presale pickups will be available from 10 a.m. to noon, and those without tickets may buy meals and See Strasburg Scouts pg 7
