Mallard Creek Presbyterian Church – Barbecue News
The 83rd Annual Mallard Creek Barbecue is 60 days away! That is only 2 months! Are you ready?
September is here and how many have already thought that it’s almost barbecue time! The days are getting cooler and the leaves are beginning to change color. Fall is coming and so is our biggest event here at Mallard Creek Presbyterian Church. The date this year is Thursday, October 25. Remember, it is always the 4th Thursday in October. We have a lot to do in the next 2 months to get ready for the big day. You will be seeing and hearing about the many opportunities that are available as we get started. There will be wood to cut, cleaning up around the Community House, cooking the meat and Brunswick stew plus a lot more. Don’t wait to be asked – ask what you can do – the “Q” needs “U”!
The Barbecue Committee hopes that you have enjoyed and learned from the “Barbecue News” articles. These covered just about everything there is to know about the annual barbecue, from humble beginnings to where we are today, 80+ years later.
Since it is September, there are several upcoming ways you can get started with your barbecue preparations. The Barbecue Committee will have a booth at the “Rally Day Expo” on September 9 and at “Day in The Park” on September 16 where you can sign up for volunteer opportunities or order BBQ apparel.
There are so many “jobs” that have to be done around Barbecue time that they are too numerous to mention here. Over the next 2 months, there will more information coming out about when, where and what. Check on those last few vacation days you saved and mark down when you will be able to help out. Contact any of the Barbecue committee members about anything – we do not turn down volunteer help!
The 83rd Annual Mallard Creek Barbecue is coming. Be sure you’re there!

Working on the Serving Line
Some of the most venerable ladies in Mallard Creek history have worked on our serving line, creating delicious plates for folks who want to eat on the grounds and have fellowship with their food! Esther Oehler, Jackie Oehler, Ethel Ranson, the list goes on.
While we do have some folks who migrate back to this line every year (including but not limited to Jean Stanford, Teresa Griffin, Sharon Kimrey, Ethel Ranson, Jackie and Esther if their health allows, Debbie Killian, Marlene Alexander Strong, Amber Kimrey, myself), we are always hoping to recruit other folks (men, you’re allowed to work alongside us if you like to chat!) to help serve and greet the guests. Feel free to add a comment or send me an email if you’d like to volunteer on the serving line. We love adding to our ranks (and we’re a very fun crew to work with).
See you on October 25th, 2012, 9a bright and early!
