The 43rd Annual Deep Pit BBQ AT Fellowship Lodge Well Recieved By Community
The 43rd annual deep pit barbecue hosted by Yucaipa Fellowship Lodge No. 668 was a huge success. In the weeks leading up to the BBQ they manned the Child I.D. booth at the local Farmer's Market. In anticipation of having a large crowd, they completed a revovation of the Lodge by painting the exterior, resurfacing and restriping the parking lot.
