The Signal Mountain Lions Club will serve up familiar fare at a community barbecue and fireworks display on Monday. The patriotic celebration, held since 1961, will take place at Althaus Park behind Signal Mountain Golf and Country Club, 809 James Blvd.
Food service begins under the main pavilion at 11 a.m. and lasts until around 4 p.m. (or when the food runs out).
“The Lions will begin cooking nearly 1,800 pounds of pork around noon (Sunday) and slow-cook it over oak and hickory embers throughout the day and night,” said Bill Leonard, event chairman.
The precisely controlled fire will be watched over by club members in four-hour shifts.
The barbecue will be sold as sandwiches ($3); in plates with baked beans, coleslaw and bread ($6); or to go by the pound ($9). Other concessions, including hamburgers, hot dogs, soft drinks and funnel cakes, also will be available.
