The Rural Voice, 1990-07, Page 72PERTH fRit County Pork Producers NEWSLETTER Vince Hulshof, President R. R. 1, Sebringville, NOK 1X0 393-5586 • The Rural Voice is provided to Perth County Pork Producers by the PCPPA FINGER LICKIN' BARBECUED PORK Our portable charcoal barbecue was built in 1965. It has become very popu- lar over the years and goes to many areas of the province to promote pork and to show how delicious pork can be. The success of the pork barbecue is a tribute to people such as the late Lome Bell. He was at almost every association meeting during his farming and later his retirement years. Lorne was active on the barbecue committee to make sure that the promotion of pork was an im- portant part of our association. The barbecue is operated by the Perth County association directors. Currently we have Wayne Hartung as the chairman of the barbecue commit- tee. Wayne looks after the buying and distributing of pork products to the di- rectors as well as the scheduling for events and upkeep of the barbecue. All in all, it is quite a job to move so much product, and our association is therefore grateful to Wayne for his com- mitment to the barbecue committee and for the fine job he does. The pork barbecue is a major part of such popular events as the Zurich Bean Festival and the Pork and Dairy Fest, and it usually attends the annual Plow- ing Match. The barbecue is available upon re- quest for any responsible group for functions such as church dinners, family reunions, etc. We sell about 10 to 15 tonnes of pork chops each year. We now have different pork prod- ucts available, such as marinated pork steaks, boneless pork ribs, and pork bur- gers which can be bought with or with- out garlic seasoning. The profits derived from the sales of pork go back to the association and are used for special programs, such as our new pork promotion co-ordinator, stu- dent scholarships — or the funds can be used for any future event if so decided by our association's directors.0 Submitted by Harry Bardoel 68 THE RURAL VOICE At the Ontario Pork Congress.
