Gray Fire-Rescue BBQ
Gray's citizens can look forward to Gray Fire-Rescue's annual Chicken Barbecue the first Saturday in August.

In their 39th year offering barbecued chicken dinners, members of Gray Fire-Rescue are warming up the grilles and gathering all the fixings for their long-running fund raiser. The chicken dinners can be picked up at the Gray Public Safety building (also called Central Station) on Shaker Road starting at noon and ending when sold-out on Saturday, Aug 7.

As usual, dinners will include coleslaw, chips, rolls with butter, and a half-breast of chicken. The department members plan on preparing about 400 dinners. Dinners are often sold out by mid-afternoon.

Association members will start cooking the chicken breasts about 8 o'clock in the morning on large barbecues specially made from 250-gallon metal barrels. Clamping the breasts between made-to-order grilles, the members work in two-man teams to flip the grilles and apply the barbecue sauce.
