On Saturday we were running late for most of our adventures, but thank goodness we were early for the annual chicken BBQ at the West Grove United Methodist Church on North Guernsey Road. We showed up just before 5, when the doors officially opened, and the room quickly filled up. The big portion of chicken was very tasty, and you also got a hot potato, applesauce, a roll, coleslaw and home-made desserts. Talk about a filling meal! The Boy Scouts who acted as servers and bussers were very helpful. One of them got to dress up in a chicken suit and walk around making "bawk-BAWK" noises. And the opera overtures as background music were an unexpected touch!
Our fellow chicken-eaters were a very welcoming bunch. We shared a table with some Jenners' Pond residents and the retired Chester County sheriff, Robert Erling (his license plate reads "Sheriff Bob").The elderly woman next to me was quite amusing: She urged me to pick up the chicken rather then messing around with a knife and fork, and she sang the praises of putting an ample amount of butter on your potato.
