The menu fare will include freshly spit-roasted beef, tomatoes, onions and corn on the cob, baked potatoes, rolls, pies and other desserts. Coffee, tea and milk are included. It’s an all-you-can eat offer.

A free hearing screening will be available.

Tickets at the door are $12 for adults ages 12 to 61 and $11 for senior citizens ages 62 and older. Advance tickets, available from any Lions Club member, are $10 for adults and $9 for senior citizens. Cost for children ages 5 to 11 is $6, free for kids younger than 5.

Soft drinks will be available for separate purchase. Raffle tickets will also be available, as well as carryouts of the complete menu.

Roasting of the beef will begin late Saturday afternoon on a spit over a charcoal fire outside the school.
