The 1891 Fredonia Opera House will hold a chicken and ribs barbecue fundraiser from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday at the corner of Day and Church Streets as part of the Fredonia Farmers Market. A basket auction also will be a part of the event. All proceeds benefit the Opera House.
BW's Smoking Barrels BBQ, a Taste of Buffalo award-winner, will provide the food for the event. Each meal includes chicken, ribs, chef salad, potato salad and a roll with butter. Barbecue tickets are $9 and can be purchased in advance or at the event.
Nine donated baskets containing a variety of goods and services will be raffled off using a Chinese Auction format. Examples of items in the baskets include: an assortment of wines, gift certificates for homemade pies and other desserts, a handcrafted fall wreath covered with lottery scratch-off tickets, beauty products and spa certificates, Christmas ornaments and movie tickets to the Opera House, among other things. For a $10 donation, supporters receive 26 tickets they can put into the basket raffles.
