36th annual fire department barbecue

Turkey Creek Fire Territory will be holding its annual chicken and pork chop barbecue, starting at 10 a.m. Saturday, July 1, at Station 1, 402 N. Huntington St., Syracuse.

Guests can purchase a chicken half for $7, a pork chop for $7 and a corn on the cob for $1.

The barbecue will end once the food is sold out, so get there early if you would like to show your support for the fire department.

The department requests guests to enter from East Henry Street on the south side of the fire station and proceed through the parking lot on the east and drive through the apparatus bays to pick up your order.

Proceeds from the barbecue will go into buying new equipment, personal safety gear like helmets and masks as well as vehicles and facilities.

Since the weather is warming up, church services are available on the water. Boat in services are held every Sunday between Memorial Day to Labor Day. All services begin at 8:30 a.m. and run about 30 minutes.
