The weather was a little chilly in the morning on Saturday, September 19,2020 for the Annual Pig Roast. That didn't stop the people from coming out to enjoy a nice ride on the trail and Snow Shoe Township Roads legalized for atvs/utvs. Many Many volunteers worked the week before the event to prepare the trailhead and trail. Then, the day before the event, volunteers set up the pavilion and gathered food for the next day. Eric Brooks and Larry Mayes did their annual ride to Marks Meats of Lamar to pick up the two pigs. Then, Chris, Kyle, Jim Vangor, Andy Basalla, Patrick Warefield and Luke cooked the pigs over night along with 50 halves of chicken-what a wonderful job they did and we could not do this without their help.-"Great Job" We want to thank Mt View Market Place and Adlers meat market for alot of the food and chicken. We want to thank Marks Meats of Lamar for processing two hogs. Great corporate sponsors.
The Centre County Probation Office supplies some great worker to prepare and help at the event. The drive thru serviced by Julie and Gary Lutz worked out great again. Alot of locals coming to pick up numerous meals driving in, picking up meal and never leave their vehicle. Jim Verost - vp worked the applications, Mark and Beth Watson sold ssrt clothing, Marissa Bartley handling the 50/50, Eric Brooks taking the funds for the meal along with Peg Brooks helping to serve. Trilby Mayes-Pres. was helping to stock as things ran low.
We want to thank Gary Halsnik for helping to shred meat from bones and Mary Halsnik for helping to direct traffic away from Drive Thru. Sheila and Ron Fye did another fantastic job of parking vehicles in open spaces in the trailhead and to fill both over flow areas.
We want to thank "Sam" from Carns Equipment and her staff to set up for the event. Numerous t-shirts-sweatshirts were seen leaving the canopy area. So, their clothing was selling well. Also many people were seen talking to the staff about atvs/utvs on site and how to order. The SSRTA could not hold such a large event without the support of Carns Equipment. So, when looking to purchase a atv/utv, stop at Carns Equipment in Clearfield to check them out.
Thank you also to the many corporate sponsors that showed up for the event fundraiser and the many members that supported it too.
A couple of the members even showed us a video of a few Elk seen that morning locally. Hopefully we can see them again on the Oct. 10, 2020 Raffle Ride at Gillentown Trailhead. Hope to see you all then.
