The empty tables on Sunday at the annual Boy Scout BBQ tell a big part of the story of what is going on in our community right now in response to the Coronavirus. Normally filled wall to wall with guests enjoying a fine meal of smoked pulled pork, sides and dessert, this year the eat-in option was not widely used. On the flip side, the ticket takers and greeters at the event said that carry-out orders were up compared to years past.
