(Seguin) — Sand Hills volunteer fire fighters will be firing up the pits this weekend. The Sand Hills Volunteer Fire Department will be modifying its annual BBQ fundraiser to a drive up and take home only event. This year’s fundraiser will be held Saturday at Lifegate Church.
Sand Hills VFD Assistant Fire Chief Carlos Chapa says while they would have preferred an in-person event, the fire department is excited to still bring the community together in support of its around the clock operation.
Chapa says the fire department will be serving its traditional meal with all the trimmings. He says plates are $10 each and will be sold while supplies last.
“It is barbecue brisket, sausage, potato salad, beans, pickles and onions and barbecue sauce. The only thing that we are not doing this year is the chicken due to time constraint and having to try to do it in a drive through pace. We’re just going to do the barbecue and brisket this year,” said Hoffmann.
In addition to the plates, Chapa says county residents will also have the chance to purchase reflective address signs at the event.
“The reflector signs are designed for you to put under your mailbox or at your driveway. It will have your numeric (address). It makes it easier for us when we do have to come out and find your house. It’s also easier for the mailman,” said Chapa.
The reflective address signs are $25 each. Order forms will be accepted or handed out during the drive-thru line.
The Sand Hills Volunteer Fire Department BBQ Fundraiser gets underway at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Lifegate Church. The church is located at 395 Lifegate Lane.
