Special thanks to Tyson for donating pork loins and HyVee for their assistance and to the volunteers who are helping for the day.
The Rippey United Methodist Church will serve lunch starting at 10 am that day. The menu will be sloppy joes, chips, a bottle of water, pie and ice cream. There will be seats for 100 people in the air-conditioned Fellowship Hall and another 112 in a tent in the parking lot behind the church. There will be fans running in there.
