Lincoln Boy Scout Troop 102 hosted a barbecue fundraiser Sunday at the Knights of Columbus Hall.

The event actually began several days earlier, when meat was hauled out of the Lincoln IGA on Wednesday night. On Thursday it was prepared with barbecue spice rubs, and then the cooking began on Saturday.

On Sunday, approximately 1,200 plates of slow-roasted goodness were delivered with all the trimmings to hungry customers.

All hands were on deck during the popular Boy Scout Troop 102 barbecue dinner on Sunday. Scouts opened doors, greeted ...

... served ...

... cleaned up and whatever else needed doing all morning.

It was a steady flow ...

... as tables filled with couples, individuals and families, then were cleaned and reset.

Over 1,200 people sat, ate and enjoyed visiting. Few plates had anything left on them.

Manned (and womaned) by assistant Scout leaders, the kitchen assembly line ran like a well-oiled machine, turning out an American classic of homemade pork barbecue sandwiches, potato salad, coleslaw, warm baked beans and choice of homemade dessert.

And finally, you can't have a good fundraiser without a great dessert table! With a selection that included cupcakes, cookies, brownies, a variety of cakes and more, once again diners would not have been disappointed with the selection before them.
