GLBBQA Celebrates Senior Q Month in October
On Saturday October 17, 2009 members of the Great Lakes Barbecue Association sponsored their first Senior “Q” event in Utica, MI.
Approximately 50 residents of the city’s Riverside 175 Senior Housing complex and members of the Utica Pioneers Club were served a great BBQ lunch of pulled pork sandwiches, BBQ chicken, Hog Apple Baked Beans, potato salad, coleslaw and dessert.
In September, the GLBBQA approached the Utica City Council requesting that October be declared Senior “Q” Month in Utica; and by unanimous vote the Council issued a proclamation deeming it so.
The morning of the event could not have started better. The weather was gorgeous, upper 40’s and sunny (remember we’re in Michigan), however, by mid morning that quickly changed to cloudy and windy. Members of the GLBBQA were on site by 8am and the smokers were fired up and started drawing some spectators soon afterwards. The weather couldn’t dampen the spirits of the seniors who began showing up for the scheduled Noon lunch by 11:15am. The event started with me explaining to the folks exactly what Senior Q was all about and how it all began. Read the rest of this article »
