LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Westside Community Park Committee’s annual “Grillin’ on the Green’ event on Saturday evening drew record attendance.
Committee Chair Dennis Rollins said 320 people attended the fourth annual event.
The LC Diamonds, a car show and activities for children kept the record crowd entertained on the warm summer evening.
And then there was the food – a variety of barbecued delicacies put forth by nine teams: Lakeport Kiwanis Club, Delta Iota Tau Sorority, the Lakeport Lions, the Early Lake Lions, the Clear Lake High School Sports Foundation (Casey Dye), Grillin’ for Fun (Scott DeWeese), Drunken Pirates (Kelly and Rob Rumfelt), Still Smokin and Q-n (Adrian Hoaglen) and the city of Lakeport.
The grillers reported running out of food as the sold-out crowd chowed down.
Grillin’ on the Green is the main annual fundraiser for the Westside Community Park Committee.
Organizers reported raising more than $15,200, which includes a pledge to match funds up to $5,000 from the Keeling-Barnes Family Foundation and $3,000 from Sutter Lakeside Hospital.
