August 2011 Chicken BBQ History!
On Sunday, August 21st the CFC held is annual chicken BBQ. The dinner ran from noon till 5:00 PM and we sold roughly 800 dinners. This years dinner had a special event too. Gary Ryman, who is the author of Firemen: Stories from Three Generations of a Firefighting Family did a book signing from noon till 2:00 PM. Gary also sold a 11 copies of his book during the dinner and not just to firefighters, but to non-firefighters as well. Also during the BBQ a Scranton Times Newspaper photographer was in attendance taking pictures for the Monday, August 22nd edition of the newspaper in the Around and About section, so check it for some great pictures.
