Thirty-thirty five young men, ranging from 11-18 years old, of Boy Scout Troop 102 started preparing for the 8th Annual Pork BBQ Dinner on Wednesday evening.

With help from their Den Leaders, the boys rub the meat with BBQ spice and sprinkle with apple juice, then put roasts in bags to marinate for a couple of days. Late Friday evening another crew transferred roasts to outdoor smokers to begin that slow 'for goodness sake' cooking. Then several troop members and their families stayed for all night vigilance.

The 800 pounds of pulled pork will be used to serve 1200 people on Sunday, March 20th from 10:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Lincoln.

Along with the pork sandwiches, those purchasing tickets for $7.50 can expect potato salad, slaw, baked beans, and a selection of homemade desserts.

The annual fundraiser is used to fund the troop activities including awards, badges, camping scholarships, travel, and travel insurance. It is the major fund raiser each year for Troop 102.
