The Green Lake Snowmobile Club's annual Pig Roast was a huge success at the club's clubhouse on Saturday, March 1.

Event co-convenor Rita Dixon said it was a great fundraising event enjoyed by a full house.

“The food was great and there were so many options for winning a raffle item and/or successfully purchasing a silent auction product.”

As it has been in past years, Dixon noted individuals and businesses were generously supportive with their donations.

“We are grateful to all of them.”

She added the Pig Roast was organized by several co-convenors and their group of volunteers.

Food Corner

South Green Lake property owner Jack Keough found the pig.

Warren Lowe was the convenor for the supper's main course with the roasting team including Master of Ceremonies Doug Brown, Alan Mitchell and Dave Binning.

Low said there was very little prep work needed – just applying the rub and brushing the oil on the pig.

Carvers included John Sullivan, Lowe and Brown.

Kim Lowe was the kitchen and menu co-convenor, while Ambur Mitchell was the event ticket sales co-convenor.

Great prizes

Lu Smith and Dixon took care of finding the awesome raffle and silent auction tickets.

Kris Alexander, Kat Alexander and this writer took care of the raffle and 50/50 tickets.

Cyndy Pollock greeted and guided everyone to their tables when the quests arrived.

Thanks Barry

Dixon noted a special mention should be given to Barry Bender of 70 Mile House who graciously lent the club the pig barbecue.

“Of course, we thank the community for supporting this event in all the ways possible," Dixon said. "From setting up the tables, supporting the raffles and silent auction with their purchases and then returning to the hall the next day to clean everything up.”
