Beating the Rain

Our annual preoccupation is to have our Annual Bar B Que and Family Day unhampered by rain. To date the rain has the edge. But we keep trying, so this year we have moved up to May. The Annual Bar B Que and Family Day takes place on 15th May at the YMCA Building 25 Alexandra Street, St. Clair. Whatever the weather it’s a fact that The Patrons HALF A CHICKEN BAR B Que remains the best deal in town.
