Pig Roast raises over $700 for grads

Cook Marco from the Maquinna Resort First Landing Cafe helps out roasting the pig for the Community Pig Roast last Saturday

The Community Pig Roast raised over $700 for the Captain Meares Elementary Secondary School Grad Class. The family event took place on Saturday September 25th from 6 to 8 pm, and was followed by a live band at the Captain Cook's Pub.

The turnout was excellent, though the crowd had to fill up on homemade bean salad, potato salad and hot dogs as the pig was a bit behind schedule. The cook had been working on the BBQ from 6:00 am in the morning, but it's pretty hard to time just how long it takes to roast a pig...

Everyone had a good time socializing while they waiting, and the sense was that now the tourism season was over, people could really kick back and relax and catch up on what was happening with their neighbors.
