Fire Department to host third annual smoked pork chop drive-through dinner on September 10

Due to the overwhelming success of last year’s drive-through pork chop dinner, the Town of St. Marys Fire Department is hosting it again on September 10, in partnership with Joe’s Diner and Broken Rail Brewing.

Each year, the firefighters take time out of their own busy schedule to serve dinner for the community to raise money for Muscular Dystrophy, local sports, and other charities.

Joe’s Diner will be preparing a feast including smoked pork chops, baked potato, coleslaw, home-made baked beans, and a bun. Due to its popularity, each meal will be served with one can of locally brewed craft beer from Broken Rail Brewing!

“Serving food is a far cry from the danger they face while responding to emergencies, but the St. Marys firefighters don’t mind the change of pace,” said Fire Chief Richard “Andy” Anderson. “The Fire Department appreciates everyone’s support as we raise money for a fantastic cause.”

This year’s dinner will be served on Saturday, September 10 from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Action Medical (with the entrance at the rear parking lot of Action Medical). The cost is $25 per meal and tickets can be purchased in advance from any firefighter, at the St. Marys Fire Hall, Joe’s Diner, or Broken Rail Brewing.

 “Last year was such a success with 600 tickets being sold,” Says Fire Chief Richard “Andy” Anderson. “This year we anticipate tickets to sell out even quicker so don’t hesitate to get yours today.”
