Support your local farmers at Rooster’s Family Fun Day at the Fair and enjoy a great traditional chicken barbecue.
The Sussex County Board of Agriculture will hold this year’s 78th annual “On the Fly” barbecue from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19. You may pick up your dinner at the board of agriculture building.
Your local farmers prepare the chicken, slow-roasted over hot coals, fresh from Sussex Meat Packing. A secret, all-natural sauce, a recipe of Charlie Pratchaler, has made this barbecue famous.
Summertime favorite corn on the cob comes from Ideal Farms and Tranquility Farms, tomatoes from Lentini Farms, and dinner rolls from Holland American Bakery.
