The cleaning of the pits for the St. Jerome's BBQ Picnic is not for the weak or faint of heart.
“Show up at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday and bring your own shovel for the cleaning of the pits.”
That’s the instruction posted on the St. Jerome Parish website last week. Intrigued, I showed up last Saturday at 8:30 a.m. at St. Jerome Parish with two cameras, a notepad, but sans the shovel, having no intention to do manual labor on a fact finding mission. One wag did attempt to hand me a shovel which I politely declined, being in no shape to keep pace with even the oldest oldster on the grounds.
