From Senoia Optimist Club Press Release
The Optimist Club of Senoia will host its annual barbecue on Saturday, October 26, 2024. The barbecue will be held in the front area of the Senoia Farmers’ Market (40 Travis Street) from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. with proceeds from this fundraiser to be used to fight childhood cancer through the Aflac Cancer Center.
Food featured at the barbecue will include the traditional Senoia recipe of Brunswick stew prepared by Carl, Jim, and Ray McKnight along with many volunteers. Pulled pork will be prepared by Fredene Wheelus.
All items are “to go”. Quarts of stew are $15, and pounds of pulled pork are $18. This year you can preorder these items online by going to https://optimistclubofsenoia.org/annual-bbq/ or by scanning the QR code on the image below. You can also contact an active member of the local Optimist Club or call 770-312-9300 or 302-981-4794 to place your order, especially if you won’t be able to make it on October 26th and need to have your items held for you. You can also email the club at [email protected] with your order or a question.
In addition to the quarts of stew and the pounds of pork, on the day of the sale, you can purchase delicious BBQ sandwiches for $8 and bottles of water for $1. All items are take-out only.
Especially for customers who preorder, the Optimist Club offers a “drive-thru” option. During the hours of the sale (10 a.m. to 1 p.m.), customers may call 770-312-9300 or 302-981-4794 and give an approximate time that they will be coming up Travis Street where the sale will be set up. All of the pre-sales will be staged so their order can be pulled and made available. If their purchase was made online, they will have already paid for their items which will expedite the buying experience so as to not restrict traffic.
The Optimist Club of Senoia welcomes new members, and they encourage anyone with interest to reach out for more information about this event or the club. Meetings are normally held at 7 p.m. on the first Thursday of each month at the Senoia Area Historical Society located at 6 Couch Street in Senoia.
