Bright sunshine and enough barbecued pork to feed a small army proved the right recipe for thousands of smiling, greasy faces at the Fidalgo Avenue Block Party and Free Pig Roast in Oak Harbor Sunday.
According to Scott Fraser, event organizer and owner of Fraser’s Gourmet Hideaway, the annual block party was as popular as ever with volunteers plating up free lunches for about 3,500 people.
It took more than 2,150 pounds of pork, 600 pounds of potato salad, 525 pounds of beans and about 510 pounds of pasta to do it, to name a few of the items served, but they managed to get it done with a little left to spare.
